In Reply To Thoughts on "Monster Magnet" drain plugs posted by ZXoltan on November 04, 2015 at 04:18 PM
     
Message Firstly, there are 4 plugs in the set. 2 x Magnetic Drain plugs and 2 x non-magnetic Filler plugs

They all have 14mm hex heads for easy removal/refit (rather than the horrible Nissan 'square hole' that is a real PITA)

The huge extreme temperature magnets used (horrendously expensive) will not be effected by the very high temperatures experienced by the oil in the transmission and differential. (unlike the euro 300zx, ours have NO external cooling)

Tests have shown the oem magnet has to actually touch a metallic particle to hold it, whereas the Monster magnet will pull particles out of the oil as it circulates past the drain plug.

Also, I found that while most 300zx owners religiously change their engine oil at regular intervals, very few think to change transmission or differential fluids. This makes the need for a really effective magnetic transmission/differential drain plug even more important
