- Unplated steel construction for hot rod, muscle car, and truck builds
Description
This magnetic steel drain plug threads into a 1/2"-20 oil pan drain opening and uses a built-in magnet to catch metal particles suspended in the oil during drains, keeping debris out of circulation. The plug ships with a washer for a leak-resistant seal against the pan.
Unplated steel construction suits hot rod, muscle car, truck, and performance engine builds using a 1/2"-20 drain thread. It's a straightforward replacement for any oil pan drain opening machined to a matching thread size.
Applications
Fits universal oil pan applications using a 1/2"-20 drain plug thread, including hot rod, muscle car, truck, and performance engine builds.
Installation
Threads into the oil pan's drain opening; the included washer seats against the pan surface to seal the connection. Torque to the pan manufacturer's spec to avoid overtightening the threads.

NOTES
• Confirm your oil pan's drain plug thread is 1/2"-20 before ordering — drain plug thread sizes vary by manufacturer (common alternates include 3/8"-16, 3/8"-24, 9/16"-18, and M12-1.5 metric), and installing the wrong thread size can damage the pan's threads.
• The magnetic tip helps capture metal particles circulating in the oil, which can provide an early warning sign of internal wear — periodically inspect the plug for excessive metal buildup during oil changes.
• Use a new washer at each oil change to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks; do not reuse a worn or compressed washer.
COMMON VEHICLE APPLICATIONS
Common on many Chevrolet small block and big block, and other domestic V8 oil pans using a 1/2"-20 drain plug thread — verify your pan's thread size before ordering.
