Magnetic Oil Drain Plug

[jfoj]

Not sure why the newer models do not have magnetic drain plugs, my 2005 Yukon Denali 6.0l had one.

So if you are considering getting a magnetic oil drain plug, the thread size is metric 12 x 1.75.

Cheaper and easier to find option is the Dorman 090-936CD. This is very similar to the OEM drain plug with a captive rubber washer that my 2005 6.0l engine has.

If you want to step up to a more powerful magnet, consider the Votex drain plug:

Good info thanks!

Sorry but a "Fumoto"" type of valve beats any plug. Drains oil straight into recycling container in 10 min with not one drop spilled. I'll let my filter take care of any metal fines if they exist.

Agree 100% though think the OP posted this up because you can easily see what metal is floating around in your oil without having to cut up the oil filter.
