Default BRP Girdle
I torqued mine to 15# and used a little bit of blue loctite, I just figured it was a M6 bolt and the oil pan perimeter bolts are the same size and I think they were 30 inch pounds I cant remember.

Default Yes
Yes 15 foot pounds, or you can do about 25-30 inch pounds it works out very close to each other

Just Saying, 25-30in lbs and 15lbs are not the same at all! 15ft lbs is = to 180 in lbs!

I torqued mine to the specs of the oilpump pickup tube bolt and used blue loctite.
