Where to get a new magnetic oil plug?

Looks to me like Dimple might be out of business. Votex doesn't make a drain plug for Buick Park Ave.

So for a quality American made magnetic drain plug for a Buick Park Ave, Goldplug is the only option that I know of.

Typically all that matters is thread pitch and maybe OAL if the magnet is likely to come close to something like the rotating assy. But in 99% of cases any plug with the correct thread will work just fine.

Best I can tell many of Gold Plug's variations like MP-02 vs MP-02T are just for hex head size, and I don't particularly care what socket my drain plug takes. On personal vehicles I often write it on the front clip/radiator cover (along w capacity) so one could always amend their notes.

Good to know. I wish I'd known those things before I ordered a Goldplug.

My main concern though is this... Which is best at retaining its magnet in the end of the bolt? If magnet detaches from bolt it would probably end up harmleslessly stuck to oil pickup screen, but it wouldn't be any help there.

I’ve got a couple of Gold Plugs - they work well. I wouldn’t rush to replace it.
