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.

Yeah, I don't dispute the wisdom behind this post. I only wondered whether the (previously unknown to me) problems with the magnetic plug might actually be attributable to user error rather than some inherent shortcoming of the product.
