| Magnetic drain plug Are there any downsides to using a magnetic drain plug? I've araldited a super strong magnet to mine to pick any nasties up, and when I drained the oil there was a greyish sludge on it. (I'm told this is quite normal for a fresh engine when running in) so if I didn't have a magnetic drain plug, would it get caught by the filter? Just curious why all engines don't have them as standard Simon      |

| RE: Magnetic drain plug Not sure there could be any negatives about a magnetic drain plug. Perhaps not fitted as standard due to cost (although only a small amount)???? GUMBALL :Y

| RE: Magnetic drain plug Loadsa cars used to have them....I can`t think of a good reason (apart from cost,as you say) not to have one. Filter should pick up most of what you`re finding, should be filtering to 10-25 micron? that`s small bits.But catching them with a magnet means seeing what`s coming off your engine......sludge is good, lumps is BAD!!!!!!!
