what does that mean?

Anyway, bentley says 5Nm (3.5 ft-lb). So really light, thats almost hand tight!

Edit: I remembered this thread I read a while ago.  Not sure if it has the torque specs for every bolt, but Justin says it has some

Just tight enough that oil won't leak out.  Remember you're torquing on aluminum threads.
