For the filter, there is no torque setting. Hand tight, snug, 3/4 turn after it contacts the block, take your pick. Whatever you do don't tighten it with a wrench, it'll be damn near impossible to get off next time. Dumb question though, does the '04 9-3 even have a conventional canister filter? I thought the "Ecotec" engines all had the cartridge filter that you just sorta drop in.
Most people don't bother torquing the drain plug either. Just put it on tight with a normal sized wrench (no need for a big breaker bar here) and it'll be good to go. Replace the crush washer (if there is one) every time or two you're down there.
