Don't bother. The idea is great, the product not so much. I have gone through 2 of the oil plug detectors and both of them had issues with teh wires coming out of the unit fraying and tearing. I don't think they are even selling them anymore.

They're also notorious for cracking/leaking.
That, and by the time you have enough metal on the plug to set the alarm, serious damage is likely already done and engine will require complete tear down. It may save you a bit over buying a replacement engine, but tear down and rebuild is costly in itself.
