Jeep Liberty CRD Engine Oil Cooler Torque Specs

3 book series FSM says 47.1Nm, or 35ft/lbs.

It is in no way close to accurate. all 6 bolts are M5x.80 pitch. They yield before you get to those torque specs. And by yield, I mean stretch, strip, and break.

That is checked via 3 freshly calibrated Snap-on digital torque wrenches btw...ranging from 1/4" to 1/2".

The book is wrong. Any real experience on this?

That's WAY too much torque! I assume you just tightened by "feel". That oil coller is a POS. Mine leaked from the oil side into the coolant. I've eliminated the damn thing!

Went with goodntight method.
