Magnetic oil drain plug: do they work?

[7138]

Worth it ba?

Nakakatulong ba talaga?

Any first hand experience mga sir/maam?

masyado mahal. kung meron kang sirang hard disk, kunin mo magnet nun (neodymium) tapos ilagay mo malapit sa oil drain plug.

Yes they do. Mercedes Benz supplies "magnetized" oil drain plugs in their engines, transmissions, and even the drain plugs of those differentials.

isang pares 100 pesos bili ko sa raon, binaklas sa lumang hard disk, wala kasi akong sirang hard disk

ok din ba ikabit sa oil filter?
medyo takot ako sa drain plug baka mahulog, sayang

[crazy_boy]

Yes. Pwede sa oil filter. Dikit mo nalang sa oil filter body. Hindi malalaglag yan.

Saan ka sa raon nakahanap?

Yeah, ordinary magnets lang yung sa speakers IMHO. Yung mga magnets na built in sa drain plug are also ordinary magnets. If it serves the purpose, for me ok na rin.

eto sabi ng wiki

Neodymium magnets (actually an alloy, Nd2Fe14B) are the strongest permanent magnets known. A neodymium magnet of a few grams can lift a thousand times its own weight. These magnets are cheaper, lighter, and stronger than samarium-cobalt magnets. However, they are not superior in every aspect, as neodymium-based magnets lose their magnetism at high temperatures and tend to rust, while samarium-cobalt magnets do not.

*CB, i'll see kung may naiwan pang magnet from the old office computers (sana di pa na-junk shop).

magnet din from harddisk yung gamit ko.
dun ko nilagay sa bottom ng oil filter.

Salamat sa inputs!

ill probably buy one and install sabay oil change.

will post pics if meron na.

[jresperanza]

kung external iyong magnet, may posibility ma magnet din nya ang external objects???

Yesterday, i bought this..





its a copy of greddy magnetic oil drain plug,
akala ko cheap material lang na basta magka-magnet lang, dahil sa copy lang,
to my surprise, okei naman sya, not bad actually, malakas naman yung magnet,
will install it this weekend sabay sa change oil.

Be careful not to overtighten that drain plug. Considering that its a copy of the original gives doubt to the integrity of the metal itself. I'm saying this to give you caution. It's better to be in the safer side of things, than a sheared drain plug.

Saan mo nabili yan sir at magkano? Stainless ba? Gamitin ko sana sa bike

[TheGreenThing]

Salvage old hard drives.. Madame dun na sobrang lakas ng magnets.. Then stick it to you oil filter.. More effective & more powerful i used to do this but i got tired of putting the magnets back to the canister.. So id say its negligible

Will do sir, thanks!
