Drain plugs with magnets in them

[kehyler]

Anyone replaced drain plugs (diff, transmission, engine etc) with a drain plug that has a magnet in it? I'm looking for some.

Why?

Wiping the tiny metal particulates off each oil change makes me and the oil feel better =D

I did. You should not feel shame for buying one

Mind sharing where you got yours from?

I bought a few, was having a hard time deciding which one to buy because of differing views and construction. I believe a couple from Amazon and one directly from the company itself.

Bought this for my last few vehicles and have never been disappointed. Solid plug and quality part. Seems to help keep and stray metals out of the engine.

That looks good. Do you use the OEM felt washer (PN 90430-12031 by my googling)?

You can use the Oem washer or order a bag of the vortex crush washers

I got a magnetic oil drain plug from GoldPlug. $22, made in the USA. Looks like very high quality.

For those that have used magnetic drain plugs in the past, have you actually found metal bits or shavings when draining the oil?

I find a fine metalic sludge everytime I pull one out. Happens on every vehicle I do it with, so I view that as normal and a kind of nice secondary backup filter. It's just what I do.
