Differential Fluid Change Drain Plug - 10k & 40k

All I did my second differential fluid change and just wanted to share pictures below of the magnetic drain plug for both. Second still had decent amount of shavings on it.

Car is strictly a daily driver.

It's my daily. Commute to work and the occasional spirited driving. Might redline and take hard turns a handful of times a week.

No track days or donuts. Nothing really abusive.

Nothing to worry about. Both fluids are good, using M1 for years in my WRX rear diff.
