That's what I have, recommended by AK. Perhaps you may want something like that seems it appears a bit more fail safe compared to the other.

Problem with this one is that there is very little magnet exposed for $hit to stick to. The protruding magnet has a lot more area to 'grab' particles.

If that's not enough magnet to hold the metal particles in your oil, then that's the least of your worries...

Does that drain plug come with a permanent gasket such as neoprene for re-use?
