144lb*ft....that's about twice the recommended specification.

70lb*ft with moly lube

I think it's like 80lb*ft for 30W, and 85-90lb*ft for 10W-30.

The factory torque spec is 60lb*ft.

Man, I wish they would show some consistency on the numbers. Not that an extra 5lb*ft is much, but it only confuses people.
