I know the how to exists, etc, but I have a couple of questions. First, what is a torx screw? And how do I get it out. And second, my air filer has oil in it, and in the tube under the air filter. Is this a sign the PCV valve is shot?

Torx Screw
Look at the bolts that hold the windshield wiper cover on, they'll look like this.

I think he means what size torx bit/driver will he need. Good question. I was going to change mine yesterday while I was tearing things apart but I only have torx bits for my drill and didn't bother to go buy a whole set.

Yep, that was my question. I want to make sure I get every part I need since I am draining the coolant, and don't want to have to do this twice.

it is a major pain to change your pcv.....and yes oil in the air filter box is a sign of a bad pcv....if u change ur pcv and it is still there that means u have blow by gasses and therefor your rings are shot.
