Well I just did my first oil change on the Kat as per all of the above posts. Went perfect.
And I can see how someone could very easily strip the pan. 16.5 ftlbs felt not much more than finger tight.
So if you dont have a torque wrench, I would suggest you get one.
I used one of the plastic cap wrenches for the oil filter, worked like a charm. Also needed to get the full two turns of the new filter.
One question though........I think on my next change I will use a new crush washer......what is the better to use? Copper or aluminum, or the metal/rubber ones?
