Broken magnetic oil plug

I can see now why you had to get the stub out, that piece with the aluminum thread on it wouldn't be able to solidly stick to the metal pan.

Looking at all those cavities made by the oil pan design reminds me why I always slightly jack up my car on one side when I change the oil, quite a bit (for my OCD self) comes out that wouldn't otherwise drain if the pan were left level.
