I am changing my oil for the first time on my 05 and I need to know how tight to tighten the oil drain bolt. Does anyone know? Thanks!

You want it tight but not too tight. I notice that as soon as I loosen the plug it starts to drip. So it needs to be snug.

Yep.

Hand snug plus a quarter turn with a wrench should do it.
