[QUOTE="Rolls, post: 52419, member: 28"] I've found out the hard way, not to use a torque wrench on drain bolts. It's a good way to strip threads. I think that the oil gets onto the threads and gives a false torque. That drian bolt is tight, but the oil reduces friction enough to let the wrench over tighten before it "clicks". The Clymer manual for my bike calls out to oil threads for some torque specs, and for other bolts to be torqued dry. It seems that drain bolt torque specs aren't specified to be lubed or not. I'm thinking it's "not". [/QUOTE]
