I've bought a torque wrench, and I'm going to be checking ALL of these
bolts
every time I change the oil, from now on.

You may want to check with your mechanic about this also. I think the proper
way to check torque of a bolt is to loosen it first and then re-torque.
This could lead to case-cracks after multiple sessions. The best method of
checking might be the "tamper stripe". Have your mechanic apply it after
torque and then just examine it at oil change.
