Thanks! I did find a T-70 Torx bit (1/2" drive ratchet) at the local Advance Auto Parts store for $6.99. Sweeeeet!

Hmmm... my 03 has a torx plug in it. Is this common or has it most likely been replaced at some point. If it is common, does anyone know what size it is? The rear plug was a standard 3/8" square [socket wrench] plug. And thanks to all for the info in this forum! I'm new to the Subaru Outback and have already performed much preventative maintenance with your help!
