ooops, you said gear oil drain not oil pan....never mind

Yes Pelican has magnetic drain plugs, I just got mine 1 week ago from them.

Today I reconditioned the headlights on my 2000 Base Boxster. I used the Mothers powerball kit (with the sanding pads) and they came out great. I then washed and dried her.

Just starting her fall prep today. I took each wheel off and cleaned it inside and out and cleaned my newly painted calipers with paper towels and Qtips before replacing the wheels and torquing the lug bolts. My wife thinks I'm nuts. Tomorrow it's a full bath followed by 303 treatment on the roof and the first coat of wax.
