+1 on the filter magnet. It’s no contest between the oil drain plug magnet and the Filtermags or the oil canister high temp neodymium magnet mod for removal of metals from the oil.

I’ve had my LN magnetic drain plug in since 2017 with no issues, but I always use a new washer and torque to spec at 19 ftlbs. I guess I really don’t need it with the Filtermags but I use it because I already have it.
