08' Civic Hybrid CVT Drain Plug Torque Spec?

I plan on changing my 08' civic hybrid transmission fluid this weekend. Can anyone tell me the torque spec on the drain plug? The owners manual is pretty much useless for basic maintenance as it has no specs.

Are there any free resources for basic DIY maintenance online?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you very much. I do have the new crush washer. Just waiting for it to cool down a bit to do the job.

I just completed the transmission fluid drain and refill. It was easier than changing the oil. I cannot believe the dealership wants to charge me $120 to do that!
