A magnetic plug will only attract and retain ferrous metals. I have a Fumoto oil drain valve in place of my drain plug or I'd consider getting one. I've looked at the FilterMAG products before and have considered being a dealer for them.

My last UOA had the highest ppm content of iron I've ever had and it was at 20ppm. That's with 12,538 on the oil with no top-offs and no filter change. I can assure you there was not enough metal to see with the naked eye.

xb visitor said "I do see metal particles in my oil changes." He/she did not say whether or not they have a mag plug. Without a magnetic plug, that is disturbing information. If he/she is utilizing a mag plug, not so much.
