Hey, at least I won't be back on the forum asking "hey, where is the oil filter on this car?"  |
i don't know that there's any torque spec listed. i always just hand-tighten it.
though as with any oil filter, they're always difficult to get off.
i highly recommend the motivx filter wrench adapter. so much nicer than the flimsy stamped steel pieces.

this funnel kit is also on my to-get list.

i got a motivx complete kit for my tacoma(raw filter in an oem housing; kit included filter drain tube, filter housing wrench, and funnel) that includes those 2 things, and it makes the process even less painless than it was before.
