From what I can see, using a magnetic drain plug on a crankcase has nothing but an up side.

I know - not original, but invisible to the jeep police.

Anybody using one on your Go Devil?

I got little round magnets from Harbor Freight, epoxy glued them to the plug. I first checked clearances when I had the Oil Pan off. I'm happy with the results. I did the same thing years ago on my volkswagon bug.
