I think that the torque on the oil pan is the same for the d series as it is for the B. If that is the case, I know that the B series oil pan is torqued to 9 ft lbs.
Seems like it wouldn't be enough, but that's what I've read out of a Del Sol Mechanics manual

Honestly i take a 3/8 ratchet and with my hand a little less than half way up give it a good turn to tighten it up. changed my oil plenty of times and never damaged the threads in the pan and never drip any oil out the plug.

8.7lb/ft // 12N-m

Don't forget to apply liquid gasket to the edges of the "humps" on each end of the gasket.
- Right outta the helms manual
PS: 1 is right next to the drain plug.

Doesn't really matter worth of crap what you torque the drain plug at as long as it's about 2/5 a turn past "finger tight."
