Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Source

[Spyglass]

My plug has the set screw embedded, which I thought made it a magnetic plug.

However, my recent oil change had no particulate matter on the plug, and it was not magnetic at all with any ferrous metal.

Can they lose their magnetic property over time? (Would that be degaussing for the Navy-types out there?)

What's the consensus for a good source and/or part number for a magnetic oil drain plug?

Thanks.

Just put 'Magnetic drain plug' into your search engine and there may well be a local source.

I wasn't smart enough to check the thread size & pitch before I put it back in.

Stock p/n is 90340-14132-00, I believe.

Some are available on eBay, but pricy.

Has anyone had one de-magnetize?

Sump plug is a M14 x 1.5
