Hey Guys
I'm throwing a VW Windage tray in my Scirocco. The bentley says to torque to 15 ft. lb. for a fiber gasket (oil pan). Would this number be the same for the rubber gasket built into the tray?
Thanks Guys
PS What size are the bolts for the oil pan - I want to replace them with hex or allen head bolts - as Gruven pointed out two of them are brutal to get at.

Generally speaking the torque specs are related to the fastener being tightened so yeah, 15 ft. lbs. should be fine. My pan bolts have 10mm hex heads, I've seen some that can also take a torx bit.

IIRC they are M6 size/thread bolts. Keep with 15 pounds...
