Magnetic Drain Plug GREEN

Post by MoonlightVFR »

Don't hear much about Magnetic Drain Plug for engines .

Ran across a Kawasaki motorcycle mag drain plug on Ebay . Beautiful anodized very bright GREEN. Looks good.

Does anyone have a magnetic oil drain plug for the C 170 engines? Experience; Share

Some of the oil filters have a magnet in them. Not sure if its Tempest or Champion.

On a lighter note, its too bad that motorcycle GREEN oil plug won't fit your O-300. It should be good for an extra few knots over a red one :mrgreen:
