Default Torque spec oil drain plug? 2010 accent

Sorry if this has already been asked as it probably has. I searched but found specs for other modles only.
I was figuring about 15 ft/pounds.
Thanks guys

You want to torque the oil drain plug? Really? Just get it hand tight.

For the record:
28.9 to 32.5 lb-ft
39.2 to 44.1 N.m

Yes being chief mechanic in a crude refinery for nearly 10 yeas now and have been doing major repairs on my cars/bikes (on a super sport with plenty of vibration.. if you don't use torque specs you will learn the hard way..) and friends cars all my life.. I torque everything to spec religiously. Everything. Having this type of approach with all aspects translates into excellent success with my work. There is a reason for it that goes beyond the scope of a forum post.
I'm surprised at 32 lb/ft, for thin aluminum casting that is slightly high.

Thanks for the spec.
