I'm about to change the oil and am upgrading the oil drain plug with the LN magnetic plug. Seems like a silly question, but just to be sure...Using the new plug still requires the aluminum sealing ring, correct?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Several years ago I glued (JB Weld) a high strength magnet to a spare aluminum drain plug and put it through heat and cold cycles before putting it into my case after an oil change. Don't be surprised to find very little ferrous stuff attaching to it during the course of 6000 miles of usage. Many components within the engines today are non-ferrous and will simply never be attracted to the magnet. Cutting open the oil filter is the better collector of all bits. (I basically abandoned the magnetic plug because it was not collecting anything).
