This guide is for vehicle owners looking to enhance engine protection by proactively capturing metal debris. The Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drain Plug offers a simple yet effective way to reduce engine wear by attracting and holding harmful swarf. A key caveat is ensuring you select the correct thread size for your specific vehicle's oil pan.

Swarf refers to tiny metal shavings or particles created by the friction and wear of internal engine components. These particles can circulate with the oil and cause further abrasion and damage to critical engine parts if not captured.
No, the magnetic oil drain plug is a supplement to your oil filter, not a replacement. It captures particles that might be too small or pass through the oil filter.
It is recommended to clean the magnetic drain plug every time you change your engine oil.
Overtightening can strip the threads of the oil pan, leading to a costly repair. Always use a torque wrench and tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque.
The Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drain Plug is compatible with most vehicles, provided you select the correct thread size for your oil pan. Check your vehicle's specifications.
No, the magnet is designed to attract and hold metal particles, and it does not interfere with the lubricating properties of the engine oil itself.
You have likely purchased the incorrect thread size. Verify your vehicle's required thread size and exchange for the correct Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drain Plug.
Ensure the drain plug threads were clean and the plug was tightened to the correct torque specification. Check the condition of the crush washer (if applicable) and replace if necessary. Re-tighten to specification.
While the plug is designed to catch debris, a very large amount may indicate significant internal engine wear. Inspect the oil for metal particles and consider having a mechanic diagnose the engine.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This product is available in various thread sizes (e.g., M16 x 1.5, M12 x 1.5). It is crucial to identify the correct thread size for your vehicle's oil pan before purchase. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or perform a physical measurement of your current drain plug.
Care:
During each oil change, carefully remove the magnetic drain plug. Inspect the magnet for any accumulated metal debris. Wipe the magnet clean with a lint-free cloth and a small amount of engine oil before reinstalling. If the magnet is heavily coated, it may indicate increased engine wear.
