Does someone have the torque Spec for engine mount bolts of front, side, and rear engine mounts? I tried searching but they seem to vary by car. FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL is appreciated.
Vehicle model 2014 ACURA RDX
Namely: #16, #15, #23, #14, #11, #12, #20 in illustration.
Bonus question: Do I need to replace the bolts for passenger side engine mount, even if they aren't rusty?

I know this question is a bit OT.. but I'm curious if you went with OEM or Aftermarket?
IMHO, OEM is always best if you can fit them into your budget; however, if that is not possible & aftermarket is the only affordable option check out rockauto.

Yeah.. I mean I figured OEM is the way to go if possible. I just recently replaced my front with Beck/Arnley from RA since the OEM is ridiculously priced. I don't regret it. But I was told by mechanic that he also recommended that I replace the others as well minus the rear (he thinks I can put that off for now).
Do you have any experience with Anchor, DEA, or Westar brands and which ones I should buy from RA? I might end up going OEM for the side mount but aftermarket for the upper and lower transmission to save some money.

Looking at what's available, aftermarket wise, compared to OEM for the one motor mount & two trans. mounts DEA is the ticket since there is not much choice?
Now you get into the question of 'do I have the mechanic replace the rear one, while he is there, & just pay the $$ and be done'?
You don't mention how many miles are on the vehicle?

Yeah I mean the only choices from RA are Anchor, Westar, and like you said, DEA. Was there a reason you picked DEA or it was just a toss up 🤣
As you can tell, the price difference between going OEM and aftermarket is huge. Honestly after fixing just the front I'm already darn happy, even with going aftermarket Beck/Arnley. Doing the others will be cherry on top I guess. And yes, I am honestly debating about just having him do all but if he says the rear can wait.. I might just listen to him.. and like I said, the car feels fine? I have a 2013 with 107K miles.

When I searched those OEM part numbers above, on RA's part number search functionality, DEA was the only one's that came up?
Personally, I have used Beck/Arnley as well to replace the side engine mount on my automatic CL-S & was surprised it stated it was made in Japan.
When the front & rear crap the bed, Beck/Arnley will be the first considered, since they are 'kind of' middle of the road, price wise.

Ahh you searched for specific OEM parts numbers. I did a search by drilling into the year, make, and model and it gave me other choices.
For the front Beck/Arnley was the most expensive one out of the other choices (mine was made in Malaysia btw) and I also read from another user they had a good experience so I went that route.
