Oil Change video, Drain polt totque

by Jan Nademlejnsky in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 6 years ago

I watched and listen several times the video for oil change for Rotax 912. I understood to use 225 in.lb torque on the oil drain bolt. It seems to me too high. Is this correct? it is very difficult to understand that important number. I wish these numbers were shown in text too, so there is no confusion.
Could you let me know, please?
Thanks

You should torque to 25Nm or 18.5 Ft/lbs for the oil tank drain plug. The torque value is in the Line Maint. and Parts manual.

Also be sure to "double-wrench" the oil drain plug when you remove and retorque the plug. Use one wrench on the tank boss and one wrench on the plug so as not to unduly stress the tank boss.
