Question Sump nut torque

Anyone know off-hand the sump nut torque on a MY06 JDM STi please or can point me in the right direction to find out?

Also does anyone know the amount of oil to fill from 'E' to 'F' please?

Cheers
Simon

Mate, I tighten to 44 Nm. This is the figure I found for a 2004 WRX STi so I would have thought it would be the same for yours too. You probably already know this but don't go too tight !

Thanks guys, hoping to get away with existing washer as just want to drain some oil off.

Any replies to other query would be appreciated...

Have tried the oil extractor route and the tubing is too wide to fit the dipstick!!!

Ah, forgot to mention you do need to find a bit of 1/4 OD hard nylon tube of the sort used in industrial pneumatic control systems. I used to work in the chemical industry so had a bit lying about.

Other posts have stated should be fine to loosen off nut slightly just to drain off, then retighten.

Anyone with experience to share please?

take the nut all the way out but just hold it covering the hole with a little gap to drain a little oil,
then tighten it up and check the oil level
