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

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

As Jimbob says, just nip it...
