IS lug nut torque spec
Hey everyone,
Since my car was overfilled with oil, now I want to make sure the lug nuts are torqued right as well. It looks like the manual says our torque spec is 103 ft lbs, but that seems really high. Does anyone know if 103 ft lbs is right?

Why would they have touched your lug nuts?

That is high, which manual exactly says that? Put a torque wrench set to 80 pounds see if you can get any movement out of the lugs. Depending on the wheels can inspect the pads without removing them.

It used to be 76 lb ft on the 2020 and prior 3IS because they used lug nuts. But in 2021+ they switched to lug bolts and as such they require 103 lb ft. I would definitely not do anything less than that, especially since the 2023 Toyota BZ4X literally has the wheels falling off the car with lug bolts similar to ours and they too use 103 lb ft.

I have to admit that i was a bit surprised by the 103 lbft of torque but TipsyTony's explanation that these are lug nuts but bolts makes sense!
I have to admit i am learning a lot from this forum and you guys are the best!! From the CEL to the apron seperation and such, not sure how people did it before car forums! I am still impressed that some get invited for supper and a freebie to have their nuts torqued!! I guess i have a few things to learn still lol

Agreed. A dealer will want to do the work in the least amount of time possible to maximize profits. And lets face it. There's no likely reason why your car would need new brakes at 5000k miles so they won't put much attention to actually checking the brakes.
