Metric.

I don't know the bolt in question - pic?

You will need a good set of metric allen wrenches, a set of metric sockets, maybe a great big Torx bit depending on your caliper bolt type, a set of Torx bits, and a metric set of ratcheting wrenches (not essential until you get around to replacing your motor mount).

For oil changes, I use a strap wrench for the filter housing.

I can't think of any really exotic tools I've needed for the stuff I've done - common metric hand tools suffice.
