Help with Torque Values for Oil Change

[Ed S]

I'm about to do my first oil change on my 09 R1200RT and I need torque specs for the Oil filter and drain plug? Does someone have the info readily available from the BMW Maintenance CD/DVD? (searched here but couldn't find it) Also, where is the best price's for a repair/maintenace cd/DVD.

 

Thank you

I do it the old fashoned way. Oil filter, put a little clean oil on the rubber gasket and tighten it "snug plus a little". For the drain plug, with a new crush washer, "snug plus a little". With the old crush washer, "snug". Both using a normal handle 3/8 drive ratchet wrench.

I've read where the filter requires 11nm tightened,and the drain plug initial torq. at 23nm and the final torq. at 32nm.

 

I'm getting ready to order this http://www.jimvonbaden.com/JVB_Productions.html

 

Of course,the old fashioned way is the way I've always done it also
