In 2014, the recommended torque for tightening the Toyota Camry oil drain plug is 30 ft-lbs. Without a torque wrench, it's important to be cautious to avoid over-tightening the plug and causing damage to the threads. The plug should be secure, but excessive force is unnecessary to reach the 30 ft-lbs torque. Over-tightening the drain plug can lead to thread damage. Additionally, while it is less common, tightening the oil filter's rubber gasket too much can also result in damage. Ultimately, it can make it challenging for someone else to remove the plug in the future.
