Well maybe for the novice, although, as I stated before I , NEVER used one for an oil change ever. Aluminum or steel. I pretty much only use them for engine internals , heads , and cyl. I have been wrenching for better than 30 years and have NEVER had a torque related issue. So maybe Mandatory for you but don't include me in there, I have been at this long enough to know what I need to torque.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
