Magnetic drain pan plugs

Title says it all, how do you guys feel about magnetic drain pan plugs for oil since tranny unnecessary

 

I guess they wouldn't hurt even though your hopefully not finding metal in your oil in the first place

 

I've had them on various vehicles. They always collect some steel dust but there are several wear metals that are not magnetic and the plug won't help there. These are more valuable in gear boxes (manual transmissions, differentials, etc.).

Does anyone have a suggestion for a particular brand of magnetic drain plug? This is one that comes up easily but seems pricey 25 bucks but love its American Made.

Just buy some magnets, stick them to the oil pan and filter. Pull off the ones on the pan before draining the oil and leave the ones on the filter until the filter is removed. No idea if this would help but it can't hurt.

 

Seems like a reasonable idea.
