Do you need to torque oil pan bolts?
Engine oil pan bolts range in torque from seven foot-pounds to 22 ft-lb or more for large engines with heavier pans and bolts. Once you've torqued the bolts and filled the engine with oil, you should run the engine for five minutes to bring it up to normal operating temperature.

2004 chevrolet colorado transmission pan torque Specs

Found several references:
2004 Colorado:
Engine: 3.5L
Transmission: Auto/4L60-E
Sixteen 13MM bolts need 7-10 ft lb. No reference to any required ordering but CW indicates to go slow in alternating/opposing areas.
Another reference for a 2004 Canyon 3.5L was 84-122 in lb which translates to 7-10.2 ft lb
And this GM reference says 9 ft lbs for the pan bolts
