Hello,

Can anyone share the torque specs for the oil drain plug and the oil filter for 05 XC 90 2.5?

Thanks!

Use a new drain plug seal and torque the plug to 28 ft-lb. Always a new seal as the seal washer is crushed and hardens as a result and will not seal with this torque a second time. Then the plug tightened too much to stop the leak and the threads on the pan will suffer. The plug is steel and it will harm the softer aluminum used for oil pan if tightened excessively.
The oil filter housing is o ring sealed. The torque is of no consequence to the sealing only that the filter cup being fully screwed in so the o ring is in its proper place. The torque to assure it doesn't loosen is 19 ft-lb.
