I need eng oil drain plug torque spec. 2001 GC 3.3L

I have an 2001 GC Sport with 3.3L. Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the Engine oil drain plug?

Thanks

Wow. I haven't torqued that bolt in 35 years and 100+ oil changes. Never striped it, never had it leak. Maybe I'm blessed. Got a hunch I'm in good company.

we had to get our lube techs torque wrenches. Always over tightening them. Doing an oil pan right now because we can't get the plug out. Makes me shake my head some days. And I'll second the 20 ft lbs
