For my first 25 years wrenching, I never put a torque wrench on any drain plug. Just snugged it down and gave it another bump... "2 ugga duggas." LOL Never had any leaks or problems, but looking back, I was really mangling crush washers.
For the last 8 years, I have been using a torque wrench... It's hard to think I'm getting less lazy with age but I guess it's possible! The Tacoma oil plug is 28 ft-lb which is a pretty solid spec for a drain plug and I would probably continue to get away with not using a torque wrench. However, the Tacoma transmission plug is 15 ft-lb and the Corvette oil plug is 16 ft-lb... these specs are much lighter and I prefer to use a torque wrench here. And generally, I am more comfortable knowing the job is done as right as I can possibly get it, and I drive with a bit more confidence.
