my brother lost the maintenance schedule along w/ the owner's manual...
going to do an oil change & i want to properly torque this drain plug down
can any of you search for it online & post the specs up here for future reference?
thanks in advance
PS: i've downloaded the pdf file and fumbling through the pages of the owners manual from the GM site; no mention of this at all while other manufacturers, ie nissan/ honda/ etc have this spec in their manual...

hmm, nevermind
i went to autozone's online repair manual
they didn't have a listing for the avalanche, so i went w/ a regular chevy pickup model w/ the 4.3L v8
it seems all the v8's have the same torque ~18 ft.lbs & the plug's a 15mm size to take it off
thanks for confirming if you found similar specs
