What are the manufacturer torque specs for the oil canister cap and oil drain plug? Also, would like to know the torque for the lug nuts. Thanks

The wheel lugs should be about 100 ft lbs.
The drain plug, 20 ft lbs.
The cap, maybe this will have it because I do not see a "oil canister cap" and to convert nm to ft lbs https://www.convertunits.com/from/N+m/to/ft+lb

Thanks, that helps a lot.
I think it is the oil filter Housing to oil filter adapter for the oil filter canister.
