exactly the same as a normal oil sump washer  :y

on my old box that needed topping up a lot, I swapped it for the newer torx style with the rubber washer  :y

Personally till it 'bites'

They can be awkward to remove, and Ive had issues with the hole coming away from the sump in the past, so I dont go too tight

The oil change guide states

Replace the sump plug and torque up to 10Nm for torx type sump plug and 55Nm for older hex bolt with copper washer.

So would use the same if torquing given its the same plug  :y

according to mr haynes the atf filler plug should be torqued to 33Nm or 24 lb/ft

... so that confirms it as 10Nm then  ;)

I sure as hell wouldn't do the ATF filler up to 55Nm

As Jimbob says, just nip it...
