Then be sure to inspect the oil filter for plastic or metallic bits. Always do that with these cars. One way to inspect the used oil itself is to pour some on a dark paper surface (or any dark item like a plate or whatever) and look for glitters in the sunlight.
Excellent advice!

That is a bit odd. Never seen a torx type drain plug. Did you also get a new crush ring? Another nice thing to have is the magnetic drain plug.
