It replaces standard non-magnetic drain plugs, collects metal particles that circulate in engine oil, and uses a simple aluminum crush washer for a reliable seal. The DP009 is sized M16 x 1.5 and crafted for mechanics and DIYers who prefer American-made components and easy maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Votex magnetic drain plug protect my engine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rare-earth magnet attracts and retains ferrous metal fragments that would otherwise circulate with engine oil.
