    Don't know if this really works but it's worth a try. I will post update with pictures if this gadget really works when I do my next oil change. Here are some pictures of the magnetic oil drain plug. The magnet can hold my pipe wrench weighing almost 2 pounds on the scale with no problems. I will do my oil change at 5000, 7500 and 10,000 miles interval and share the data.
