It's called E-Torx (for External) or external star. Interestingly enough I bought a set of E-Torx sockets thinking I'd need to take out the seats for some modifications, only to discover that they...

Higher number is thicker, so 50 is thicker than 40, not the other way around.
A 5W30 will behave like 5 in cold temps (W rating is at 0 degrees Fahrenheit) and like 30 in working temps.

AFAIK the gen 2 OEM oil cooler is actually an oil warmer meant to eke out a little better emissions by warming the oil faster on cold start. The fact that it also acts as a cooler is an added benefit.
