A buddy of mine found a magnetic oil drain plug (DSM of course) at NAPA.

 

[Mike1992]

Well jon quoted me $38.00 shipped for both and I was like ouch so, just picked up the tranny drain plug for $23 shipped instead.

I remember seeing an oil plug that was magnetic but I cant remember where to get it. Has anyone ever tried one? Or where to get one?

That's not a bad idea, I didn't know they existed for our cars. I'll be picking up both the tranny and oil pan drain plugs.

Your local auto parts store should be able to look it up for you. Or bring in the old one and have them match it up.

i want to say it is like m12 by 1.25, but dont quote me on that. I will check this out tom at work.

 

[MrBoxx]

If my computer at work is right, it's M14x1.5. I just bought one, but haven't gotten around to an oil change yet.

 

[SnowBird]

Thanks guys. Im gonna hit up pepboys I guess.

ok, this may seemed ghetto, but about a year ago, I wanted a magnetic plug too. I couldn't find one, so I bought a regular one and superglued a magnet to the tip of it. OK, well 4 oil changes later it is still there and is working perfectly.

Very ghetto, I know, but it works.

I got one off ebay for 10 bucks shipped. That thing has no problems picking up my stack of wrenches(12) very powerfull I have to say.

 

[Defiant]

I'd rather hear it was epoxied rather than super-glued, but it won't really hurt anything if it comes adrift down there.
Magnets are also made for the oil filter. The only drawback to any of these devices is that once an engine gets to the point that there's pieces that are going to get snagged by a magnet, it's already well on the way to being dead.

very true. my old plymouth van had a magnet in the tranny pan, set onto a dimple on the bottom. it was super strong and i had to pry the hell out of it to get it off. i guess you can just sit the magnet down in the pan and drop pan to check it every few oil changes? but i would have stuck the magnet to the OUTSIDE of the bolt. still magnetized, and it wouldnt get sucked up into the oil tube. either way, i agree, if you see stuff stuck to the magnet in there, its time for rebuild.
