EZ Change torque setting?

I started to change my oil earlier this afternoon, and was also planning on installing the new EZ Change plug that i recently bought from Geno's. Well i went to install the plug and on the little plastic case it is in the torque setting is rubbed off and i can not clearly read the correct number.

Does anyone know the correct torque setting to torque the drain plug to?

Thanks,
Tim

Not sure of the setting, but make sure you tighten the helk outta that thing. I'd say go higher than what they reccommend. I've heard of more than a couple of guys having that thing break loose and come undone, thus leaking oil all over the place. Not a good thing in my book.

It ended up being 40 ft lbs. They were closed for the holiday weekend, and i called them earlier today. I went ahead and put the regular drain plug in for now, and i'll change to the EZ Change plug next oil change.
