I always replaced the stock oil drain plug with a Fumoto valve on all my cars/trucks/motorcycles at the 1st oil change to make all subsequent oil changes a lot easier.

Are they universal?

No. They make different thread for different car/truck. That's the first thing I do after getting a new car. The one on my 2003 4Runner is still there after 22 years ?

Check out https://www.fumotousa.com/

I'm just a satisfied customer. It's also on all my motorcycles that subject to high vibration.

I’m amazed at my own ignorance on these kinda thing.

I assume that the standard oil plug is not magnetic?
Any strong magnet stuck to the oil pan next to the drain plug will do. Just take it off when you do the oil change so the metal and flow out.
