Magnetic Drain/slump Plugs
« on: February 01, 2012, 08:29:38 AM »
Any point? thinking of doing and oil change soon, so deciding if i should change for a magnetic one.
i know its the oil filters job but it cant do it any more harm right?

just to know if anyone uses one and your thoughts.

thanks.

You are right they cannot do any harm. They are a good investment if you intend to keep the cars for a long time. I have not seen them fitted as standard for a few years now. The cars that had them fitted always had some filings on them.
