Thanks Patman, I'd be interested in Terry's opinion also. Chris, I'm thinking you are right. If an oil filter can trap the really big stuff, the drain maganet will grab the rest, no matter how small, or grab the metals before they get into the filter.

Thanks Chris, I'll try them again and try getting one

Hi Patman, In my (very humble) opinion, if I'm using a magnetic oil drain plug and it's holding some metals on it (and not suspended in the oil) when I drain the oil out and have it analyzed, those metals may have shown up in the analysis. Instead, they were held on the magnet when the oil was...

Chris, How easy was it getting the superplug and when did you get them? The website says secure ordering, but no lock comes up on my browser and I won't type in credit card info without it. I tried the toll free # but got a strange recording. (I'll try again this week) The magnetic plugs I've...

Hi everyone! Being a total newbie and trying my best to learn from your experiences, I'd say this place is one of the best for learning about oil and filters. I just bought a new Pontiac Vibe (Toyota Matrix sister) and will be coming up to the first oil change very soon and wanted to plan out...

Johnny, I'm very interested in the way you ranked your choices. Why Pennzoil syn over Mobil 1, Amsoil, and Redline? BTW, At the Pennzoil site on the tech sheet, something is missing. Flash point (I think)
