It includes a high-temperature N48SH neodymium magnet that captures metal particles suspended in engine oil, plus an aluminum crush washer for a reliable seal. The design focuses on longevity and serviceability: the magnet wipes clean during routine oil changes, and the stainless construction resists shearing compared with softer materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this drain plug improve oil maintenance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy intercepting ferrous particles before they circulate through the engine, the Votex magnetic plug reduces the amount of abrasive debris in the oil. That helps keep oil passages and filters cleaner between service intervals and makes visual inspection of captured particles simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-strength N48SH magnet captures iron filings and metallic grit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMagnet rated to 150°C (302°F) for stable performance under engine heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWipe-clean surface for quick inspection at each oil change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum crush washer included to ensure a tight, leak-free seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the construction more reliable than cheaper plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug is CNC machined from 304 stainless steel sourced and finished in the USA, offering greater resistance to shear and corrosion than many aluminum or low-grade metal plugs.
