Default under carriage torx bolt

Good morning all, I have a 2024 Z51 that requires removal of a couple of under carriage panels so I can have better access to the oil filter that the manufacturer attached so tight that trying to remove it caused damaged to the filter, filter is impossible to be removed with the limited access that I have, I assumed that Chevy would know how to install an oil filter , but not on this unit. The underside panels seem to have several different sizes and heads on the bolts / nuts, the second panel has what seems to be an odd Torx bolt pattern, anyone out there know the name and size of these bolts? Thanks.

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C8 Corvette:

General C8 Topics:

We encourage new members to take some time to browse around the site and read the Announcements and Stickies as they contain important and frequently asked information.

Thank-you
