dublet Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm guessing that's an auto correct error. It can be an opera or a lager.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Red Celica Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 My 2 Red ones turned up today and I was surprised how powerful the magnets are. Ready for the next Oil Change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maizey Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi,Magnetic sump/drain plugs ? you really need one of these STEEL not nasty ALLOY from motorsport-developments.co.uk (listed by manufacturer or thread size/pitch) They also supply 4 x magnets which attach to the oil filter.

Guest Ambermile Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 So, call me stupid but... why not get a 10mm neodymium magnet and stick it to your current plug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maizey Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Dunno? . . . . . but if it was just a case of sticking the magnet to the original sump plug then don't suppose the manfacturers would have bothered "crimping" a magnet into a new sump plug? My guess is (and it is a guess) that there may not be an adhesive resistant enough for the environment it lives in,that they don't want to take the chance of the magnet dropping off inside or maybe being pulled off, as the sump plug is being removed and reattaching itself to the inside of the sump?? What is needed is to get the collected metal particles, on the magnet, out of the system, therefore, the magnet has to stay on the end of the sump plug so I guess that a crimp fitting is the best option. Might be worth an experiment (not by me though !). . . . . . if anyone out there fancies it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ambermile Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hmm, the neodymium ones are like shit on a blanket... and let's be fair here, if it falls of it no way going to get up to the engine is it? Was just a thought is all - the plugs you all are talking about are aluminium anyway I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Storm Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 On older cars I used to just stick a magnet in the sump. It wasn't going anywhere and it did the same job. Just meant you couldn't take it out to clean it but hey, no one was looking to see if it was clean ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 i used to sell those aluminium ones and to be honest had nothing but issues with them as people would over tighten them, either damaging the threads or i saw a few cases the thread and internals stuck in the sump and the head snapping off flush with the surface. I actually get ones custom made for me now out of steel that are nickel coated like OEM to prevent rusting but have the high strength magnets in the middle, easily able to support a 3/4" racket from just that tiny magnet. I fit these to all the forged engines I've been doing now as a standard part. But i do sell them separately if anyone is interested. There £12.00 delivered to the door.
