A torque wrench is not necessary to tighten an oil drain bolt. Trust yourself....you can do it!
An onwers manual typically says things like "If you DO change your own oil against our recommendations we highly recommend you bring your vehicle to an authorized dealer so he can properly check the torque of the drain bolt as soon as possible so your sorry assed effort wont result in catastrophic engine failure."
My son in law just bought a new pickup truck and the guy WHO SOLD HIM THE EXTENDED WARRANTY said synthetic oil was not authorized for his vehicle.
This is BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT!
I have NEVER replaced a sealing washer and Ive been changing oil in every vehicle Ive owned for 40 + years. Ive never seen a used one leak.
So There!
