Shark Attack

Should you really have shavings on it all the time? I would think at some point things run in enough to where you no longer have this. My old Triumph tr8 had a magnetic plug and it rarely had anything on it. And that was my first car as a teen, The oil didnt get changed that often.

I just put the mag plug in my car. I cant wait for 3000 miles to see what it looks like.

How about a magnetic drain plug for our POS transmissions? Any sources?....

I don't know if this will work, for the tranny

I have a filtermag on my SUV, since it's a spin on filter.

If I remember correctly, my old MGB's and A-H 3000 had such large tolerences any contaminants blew right out the exhaust.........

LOL, maybe. The engine in the TR was great, the tranny and rear end was antoher stroy. I think I wrecked one tranny and 3 rears. But I wasnt exactly easy on it either. When you let a kid buy a go-cart with a v8 in it, Things are just going to get broken

anybody have experience with these valve/plugs?

No HTwo O

I think they are already (993 series for example). Is this correct??

For example, see here:

So I did my first oil change just over a week ago ..

I got a bit worried because I read here on the boards to change the oil every 5,000 miles ritualistically and I was just about to roll 6k!

The Horror, the horror!


Removing the plastic OEM filter housing

OEM paper filter


Installed the LN Engineering Spin-on Oil Filter adapter kit

Filter-Mag was perfectly sized (I guesstimated the diameter of the can)

Bigfoot Magnetic Drain Plug


And precisely 10 quarts of oil (9+ 1 for the filter) ..

Checked the air pressure and GTG!


Today I got my report back from Blackstone (in less than a week via USPS)!!






I also wish to thank 'medtech' for his valuable insight.
Cheers mate! There's be a Pint of cold Beer heading your way ..

Schützenweber, for reference, what size of FilterMag did you buy that fits the LNE spin-on filter adapter?

Thanks

I have the mag plug and spin-on oil adapter. For oil filters I prefer the K&N - the molded nut on the bottom of the can works wonderfully and is a bonus when the spin-on adapter unexpectedly comes off with the filter.
