Default Oil Cooler / Filter Lines

1995 GMC Jimmy SLT 4WD

I can't locate in 2 manuals this torque spec.

Bolt Torque spec for the Bolts which attach the Oil Lines to Oil Filter Adapter and under Engine Oil Feed ?
Web page link ?
Even if it's for a similar vehicle would be sufficient for now.

Appreciate any help.

I seem to remember reading on here when I did mine that it was pretty light. 25 ft-lbs? I've read that if they are over torqued, it will cause the gaskets to fail, and you'll be right back where you started with oil leaks!

I just replaced mine in the spring. The torque spec is 26 ft-lbs. I seem to recall that you don't want to overtighten them for some reason, possibly because the metal is soft and the fittings could distort.
