Each figure stays with the source named in the last column. If a sequence is a figure in that source and the order is not printed in the text, this page does not invent the order.
| Fastener | Torque | Where it comes from |

| Engine oil drain bolt | 30 lbf·ft (40 N·m, 4.0 kgf·m) | Changing the engine oil and oil filter |
Remove the filter and dispose of the remaining oil. Confirm the old gasket is not stuck to the block. Wipe the contact surface. Coat the new gasket with new oil and install the filter using the filter's own instructions.
New washer on the drain bolt. Tightening torque 30 lbf·ft (40 N·m, 4.0 kgf·m). Pour in the recommended oil. The procedure lists 4.6 US qt (4.4 L) including the filter.
Start the engine. The low oil pressure indicator should go off within five seconds. If it does not, shut the engine off and check the work. Run for a few minutes, check for leaks at the drain bolt and the filter, shut it off, wait three minutes, and read the dipstick. Add oil if needed.
Coolant from the same specifications page is on the 2015 coolant guide. The 2020 oil guide is the later body. 2012–2014 and 2016 of this generation are not separate pages, because this February 2015 book was the one read.

Same repair, different model year. Use the page that matches the truck or car in the driveway. A figure on one year is not a figure for the next.
