Data Sources & Method

TorqueLookup.com is designed as a reference-first site. We prioritize process guidance and context, and we encourage confirmation of final torque values through OEM service manuals and manufacturer documentation.

What we treat as “source-of-truth”

• OEM factory service manuals and official manufacturer service documentation
• Published manufacturer technical bulletins and service procedures
• Manufacturer fastener guidance for torque-to-yield (TTY) and staged torque procedures

Why values vary

Torque specifications depend on assumptions: thread condition, lubrication, hardware grade, surface finish, and joint stiffness. Even within one platform, revisions to hardware or procedures can change values across model years. That is why TorqueLookup.com avoids presenting isolated numbers without context on critical joints.

How to verify your spec

1. Confirm year/model/engine/trim and the exact component.
2. Confirm whether the procedure specifies dry, oiled, threadlocker, or anti-seize conditions.
3. Confirm sequence and stages (including torque + angle if specified).
4. Replace any required single-use hardware (TTY bolts, lock nuts, staking nuts).
