Exclamation 4.3 liter oil bypass filter cover plate replacement hex bolts?

I have everything I need for the oil change aside from these bolts. Does anyone have the specs on these so I can stop by Home Depot on my way home from the office before I tackle the service? Fingers crossed that the torx bolts come out easy and they’ll go straight to the trash. Thanks fellas!

Likely 6 mm

I thought I had documented the size in an earlier post, but after a frustrating search to find my original post , I was remiss and didn't include the size; see post #9:

Annoyed at my lapse, and finally realizing the key search terms were "bypass filter", I found part of the answer in Vantagelvr's post #1:

From the picture, guessing a 20mm length?
Hope you don't experience any removal issues...

Makes sure you use a compatible material screwing into the aluminum housing!
