Mind you that's the magnetic drain plug, it's a 911 and the car is slammed, but still. Leave it when it ain't broke.

The guy said it only stuck out 1/4 inch from the oil pan instead of being flush with the oil pan like the oem plug. If that's the case, I would think the stock oil pan is prone to breaking open from being hit. Maybe a skid plate is a good upgrade for the box.

I've read several posts about Box owners upgrading to the magnetic plug. I guess they must all be flush like the stock plug because there weren't any comments about the owners endangering their car with such a foolish idea.

above picture

I'm guessing that's a magnetic oil drain plug. Is there a reason for posting the pic?

Bax,

You have received your feedback. Resist the urge to make this a hissy fit.

Move on.

Thanks

Mr baxster's acidic comments has a lot in common with the famous Phantom (Jake Raby's nemesis) of a couple of years ago.......
Perhaps I'm just getting old and cynical.
