Considering getting and am wondering who's tried it...

 

i wouldnt trust it on a bumpy road screw that lol

 

^^^^^^^?????????? It couldn't hurt. I'd use one if you gave it to me but I wouldn't rush out to buy one.

 

i would be scared that bumps would cause more vibrations then the magnetic pull could handel and it might fall out then we would have BIG problems

 

I don't think he means one held in place by magnetism, but rather a plug that screws into the oil pan as usual and attracts metallic particles out of the oil. Couldn't hurt if you ask me, as long as the metal isn't overly soft.

 

WHAT (aarontrini85)???
How would something just fall out if its screwed in like any traditional drain plug?
What i'm referring to is the drain plug for our motor oil, and swapping it out with a same type & size except its magnetic (to catch metallic particals/shavings).
For those that have or are going to try it what size do we get and where do we findem (ebay?)?

 

ahhh then that sounds awsome lol would have saved alot of work on the d seris im rebuilding (it spun a bearing and the shavings when every where)

 

i havent tried it yet, but i do have one

i got it the other day from ebay, and it looks great and the magnet works.. haha. come my next oil change im swapping it in.

 

I have one but it doesnt serve to much of a purpose. Because the oil is filtered is doesnt really catch anything. I have them on all my 2-stroke dirtbikes and they work great one there....no oil filter.

 

yeah and 2-stroke motors don't use oil either, cause its mixed in with the fuel

 

Anyways... What diameter/part# are they?

 

hahaah true true...hahahah

 

Not sure what kind of bike u got but THEY DO use oil. Clutch and gears use the same oil and because there isnt a oil filter it is suggested to change the oil every ride. If you have a bike I hope to god youve been changing it

 

If you run steels in the clutch, the magnet will be very productive! If you run aluminum disks, you just get silver oil. But gears are ferrous and it could let you know if somethings happening there. Very handy for the price.

 

I got mine off Ebay from the seller auction link below a few months back. It fits perfect and works great. I highly recommend it. Contact the seller for exact specs if needed.

I used to have a magnetic oil drain plug on my integra. Everytime I did an oil change I would always find metal shavings on it. The brand I had was Golden Eagle. I don't know if they make one for the TC yet.

 

The pics look like they're made of aluminum...is yours?

 

U used it on ur tC or another car?

 

Well I didnt have the thing taken to a lab but I would say pretty sure its not aluminum. It felt about the same hardness and weight as that stock plug. And yes it is installed on my TC, where did you get the idea I was talking about somebody elses car? This is a very simple product, it fits great, works well and is inexpensive, what more can you ask for?
