I believe it is either a T20 or T25 offhand.

Might want to use a rag a wipe off some of the oil before installing. My cel gave me a o2 sensor code about 40 miles after I first installed =\.. Sounds great though and the engine seems run much smother

A MAF code would make sense, seems odd to throw an O2 code for it, that would mean that the oil managed to survive the entire combustion process at a large enough volume to foul the O2 sensor.

+1. Buy good ones too, they occasionally shear, so having a lifetime warranty is very helpful. FWIW, the Duralast stuff at Autozone is actually pretty good quality stuff.
