Here is a link to the original post. You will have to scroll thru till the end. But bellow are all teh important photos.





Sure thing, will do!
Here is what the UUC magnetic drain plug looks like. The magnet they use is really strong. I was thinking it would be like a magnetic screw driver strength... but its realy quite stronger than a screw driver!




Ok... as promissed... here is what I found on the end of my UUC oil drain plug. This is after about 7K kms of use. What I found was really just a fine metalic dust. Actually I was expecting more ferret metal particles - from my VW days. I think this just proves that frequent OCI has gotten rid of alot of metal particles from my engine. This was my fifth oil change in 24K miles(total).


here is what I found....

UUC oil drain plug untouched - just removed from oil pan...


a closer look - untouched...


the silver stuff on the paper towel is the metal collected on the end of the magnetic drain plug.


all cleaned up!

Definitely see the positives on getting this plug. Anyone else here in APO AE want to buy a plug and we can cut shipping costs?
