    Thanks - it was 15 mm. How much torque should I give it to reinstall it?

    Put it finger tight then a half turn at most if it requires a gasket or buit in gasket, Not super tight though!!

    Depends if u want to do the next oil change or if u ur getting someone else to next time.

    Gasket, half turn should do, basically go until it gets really hard to push so your using all your force, that should be enough. If you go too much u may ruin the gasket or crack the oil pan, too little and it will wobble loose and drain ur oil then ur fucked.
