Lug Nut Torque Setting

Does anyone know what it is for the 2019 as it isn't in the owner's manual for some reason? It was 80 ft-lbs for the 2018. But so was the MDX before 2018 then it apparently became 95 according to online sources.

It is in the Owner's Manual...the full manual, available to download or order a paper copy from Acura. It's free. I always order paper copies of it and the Nav Manual. Over 600 pages for the OM....and over 300 for the Nav!! So much
techy stuff you wouldn't believe...most don't know ALL the "stuff" this RDX has, etc, etc. Way too much to remember all. Craziness!! And I've owned many Acuras and other vehicles. I learn what I need.....'nuff said....LOL!!!

Page 584..."Replacing the Flat Tire".....item #5...Lists the torque spec at what has been written here....80 ft. lbs.

Well, I stand corrected. I searched the entire PDF for "Torque" and this never came up. I also checked Specifications pages 628-629 which include tire pressures but nothing there.

Thanks again ...

Of course....that's what we are all here for. To help each other out. Those darn manuals are not "logical" as it relates to looking up "subjects." You have to dig deep most often to find what you want. You'd think...looking up
"Wheel Torque Settings" would be easy.....OH NO....not done well by the Tech Writers who put these manuals together. And, I tried to find IF there was another place it was listed.....I couldn't find it. I too believe it should be on
the Specs page....but, of course not...too logical!! LOL!!
