Here's the one that isn't in the manual, but after looking around a bit and reading the comments sections on several videos, the consensus seems to be...

Oil Filter Cap: 20Nm or 14.75 Ft/Lb

I still don't have any leaks from Diana, but I am also still a bit worried about that dang gear oil...

One of the strange things to me is the manual lists a range for each torque setting. These(those we listed above) were the minimums.
The Oil Filter Cap has a short range of thread and feels light. 20Nm is the torque for the 6mm bolts also. To me that just seems a bit high for the cap.
I don't mean it is wrong, just seems high to ME. But I'm no engineer or even a real mechanic.
I do tend to worry/panic with aluminum parts(This one is $35) due to my own over zealousness in over tightening before I got a torque wrench.

Still, thanks for the input and update!! Think I'll go now and check the N2 in my tires  ::)

I noticed that bit about ranges. I just went with the minimums of each range, because I don't trust my torque wrench. It's brand new, and one of those that has a twist-grip scale. I can barely read it for the glare.

Two things to consider...
1) The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse always gets the cheese.
2) Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines.
