the torx size is either a t-10 or a t-15, cant remember which one for sure. and no a phillips head will not work, you will just end up either striping the screw or throwing the screw driver at someone.

Thanks. On my car, it was actually a T30 Torx screw. It made the change in about 20 minutes, following the instructions from the Mods section. It was DEFINITELY time, as the filter was really dirty !
Thanks for everyone's help.

bosch is the cheap ones that are made of the same stuff as cheap air filters, now the ones that are like 40 bucks from valvoline or 300 from the dealer, are the stock HEPA cabin air filters recommended by ford.

I have heard the same thing. It is similar to the extra hp gained by all the Ricers for putting an "R" or "Type R" on their cars somewhere. My favorite are the Toyota Type R's.
Check this out: anti-rice.com for some good laughs. And examples of things to watch out for.
