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 |

Yeah, they work, I don't have any on my car at the moment, but I have had them on other cars, you'll likely always find some metal on it when you change the oil, motor oil doesn't completely prevent wear on the motor. What you want to watch out for is "chunks" (not fines) of metal any color, or brassy-coppery color(rod bearings oh no!). Magnetic drain plugs on trannies is always a good idea as there is constant wear going on between the gear teeth and shafts etc.
