How many do you torque down oil pan bolts for a 2001 Chevy 4.3 V6?

There's no single torque specification for all oil pan bolts on a 2001 Chevy 4.3L V6. The torque value depends on the *size* of the bolt. Your repair manual (a Haynes or Chilton manual, or a factory service manual) will list the torque specifications for each bolt size used on your specific engine.

Do not attempt this repair without consulting a repair manual. Using the wrong torque can strip the threads or damage the oil pan. Improper tightening can also lead to leaks.
