Oil pan bolt torque value

[David-NEPA]

Have to change the oil pan on my 2003 and can't locate what the torque value is for the pan bolts. Would someone like to share that with me?

Also, when changing the oil you drain from both bolts and take the filter out ... then refill with 3 qt 22 oz ... when I took the pan off, after removing both plugs and oil filter, a few more ounces of oil was still in the pan ... anything with that? Or just don't worry about it and still go with normal amount?

Thanks in advance.

The torque for the bolt is 52 to 69 inch pounds for 6mm bolts. this is also solvent dry cleaned. There are 2 bolts that are supposed to have a non permit locking agent what I would call blue loctite. If you have a Kawasaki service manual the diagram is on 6-7.

I'm sure that when one does a oil change that those couple of ounces are still in the motor. If it were me, I would go ahead and add the amount that was remaining in the motor when the pan was pulled to the 3 quarts 22 ounces

Thanks for the info. I do have the Service Manual and saw where those two are supposed to have "locking agent" on them.
