Those same plugs have the same thread pitch and bolt size as newer cars (aka ours), so the drain plug is interchangeable. If you notice, most of these will just have a thread and "types of vehicles" it fits to.

false. how is it just fine to have metal shavings all up in your gears as opposed to fewer metal shavings? magnetic engine oil drain plugs and filters are gimmicks, as the filter is in fact a filter

You misunderstood me. I’m saying aftermarket magnetic plugs are gimmicks since the stock ones are already magnetic.

That diff plug is definitely magnetic. You can see it on your first couple changes, lol.
