GOLD PLUG magnetic oil pan drain plug
Have been asked where do I get a magnetic drain plug? The best available is at www.goldplug.com or goldplug@gmail.com
The drain plug is the same size for all camaro engines order a: AP-04 They are about $9 and a worthwhile investment! |

it is supposed to attract the metal partials that all engines shed.

is there an issue with the Gold Plug magnetic drain plug being too short in length or using a metal washer instead of a rubber one? whats the difference between Gold Plug and the one you can get at Autozone?

Got mine for $6 at autozone. Looked like its working fine last oil change. You wouldn't know if one is stronger than the other without both in front of you.

Ok did my change yesterday. First one with the magnetic plug. I put it on during my last oil change at 3000k. I'm at 6000K now. Sorry no pic's but I can tell you I could see some shiny metal flakes the size of glitter. But what was mostly on the plug was a silver /grey paste. If you wipe it off with your figure and smear it on a white piece of paper in the sun, You will see flecks reflecting in it. Does not sound like much..But this is my 4th oil change. I did a hard break in on the engine. 1st change at 500, then 1500, then 3000. If I had not done the previous changes I sure the metal residue collected on the magnetic plug would have been much worse.
