20 foot / pounds for the 3.3L and 3.8L. This is for a standard steel drain plug. Older models used an interchangeable plug that had a reddish rubber seal built into the bolt. Those required very little effort to make them seal. Two fingers on a tiny 1/4"-drive ratchet were more than enough. Those were also designed to strip their threads to protect the threads in the pan if the plug was over-tightened.
