Torque Settings Can't Post

Does anyone know what the torque settings should be for the oil drain plug and for the spark plugs? Also should I use a crush washer when reinstalling the drain plug?

Thanks,
Jeff

Oil plug:

20 ft-lbs


Washer:

The manual says to replace the plug and/or the washer IF there are signs of wear so it looks like you have to use your judgement on that one.


Spark plugs:

13 ft-lbs

NOTE: The factory manual I bought used originally said 20 but it has been crossed out and replaced with 13 ft-lbs with the note "TSB-26-11-01" and considering how thorughout the manual other pages of the manual have been updated with what appears to be factory update reprinted pages I'd go with the updated number. The previous owner seems to have kept up with updates to the manual.
