Was looking online and I found this which I went and bought anyways cause the price was sweet and looks cool.
Magnetic oil drain bolt Does this really work. Says it catches metal pieces and prevent engine damage. Wipes off every oil change. They also make them for tranny oil drain aswell. Fact or Myth??? This post has been edited by Tech-Nics: Nov 25, 2009 - 7:46 PM |

I've seen a few oil pans that have magnets in them, and more and more drain plugs with magnets. The biggest thing they will catch are the filings from the break-in period. If you have more than a few thousand miles on the car and are getting a lot of metal, you need more than just a magnet lol
