Sears has them, as will any autoparts store that carries tools (autozone,
napa, etc.)

I got a whole set of Lisle male and female Torx drivers. Found them at a
good local auto parts store though Sears carries them too. I believe that it
is a T45 for the oil plug. I use the torx on a breaker bar for better
control.
To remove the oil filter housing, just budge it with a hex wrench then spin
it off with a 3/8" ratchet wrench in the square center recess.

Finally remembered to look in the tool box. It is a T40 for the oil plug.
