Don't hear much about Magnetic Drain Plug for engines .
Ran across a Kawasaki motorcycle mag drain plug on Ebay . Beautiful anodized very bright GREEN. Looks good.
Does anyone have a magnetic oil drain plug for the C 170 engines? Experience; Share

Re: Magnetic Drain Plug GREEN
Some of the oil filters have a magnet in them. Not sure if its Tempest or Champion.
On a lighter note, its too bad that motorcycle GREEN oil plug won't fit your O-300. It should be good for an extra few knots over a red one
