Talking 98' C280 (2.8L V6) Thermostat housing bolt torque specs

Hello EVERYONE!,

Doing the thermostat on my 98' C280 tomorrow because it's going to be a balmy 60 degrees F here in NoVA tomorrow, going to pick up the part now and I just need the torque values for the two bolts that hold the housing to the motor. If anyone's done this before on the V6 any tips or cheat would also be greatly appreciated.

As a general rule, I never torque steel bolts into aluminum more than 10-15 nm.
