I need the torque specs for the drain plug so I don’t over tighten them.

There are multiple ways to get the service information. Printed service books or online are both options, The benefit of the online information is that it generally has been corrected as errors are found, with the printed books you are sort of stuck with what is printed.

For the online information you can buy subscriptions for a single vehicle from both Alldata DIY and . They offer monthly, yearly and longer. It is the same information that shops use.
AllData - http://www.alldatadiy.com/
Mitchell - https://www.eautorepair.net/marketing/default.asp

There is also the option of getting access to service information through Ford themselves, but the price is very high as the image shows.

For printed information it depends on what you wish to do, Chilton and Haynes both sell versions of the service information as books.
