The following is from a wall chart that I got years ago from a local
nut-and-bolt company called All-Metric, Inc. Bear in mind these values are
for steel-to-steel, so DO NOT use these if the bolt is going into aluminum.

Size is bolt size in mm, torque is in ft-lb. Grade 8.8 is equivalent to US
Grade 5.

Size            8.8      10.9
-----           ---     -----
  4               2       2.9
  5               4       6
  6               7      10
  7              11      16
  8              18      25
 10              32      47
 12              58      83
 14              94     133

Dave,

Should have looked in my Service Manual before responding:  Oil pan bolts - 
3.6 ft-lbs.  That's not much.

Still be nice to see the generic list if anyone has it.
