Doing another oil change today prior to T&T and HRDW.

I dropped a 3/16 allen wrench while doing a pulley change at the track almost 2 months ago.

Guess where I found it today?

Stuck to the outside of THE OIL PAN DRAIN PLUG.

over 2000 miles of street driving and multiple passes at the track. Still there.

Nice!! Any pictures?

I dropped a lifting eyelet once, couldn’t find it, removed the belly cover, the magnet snagged it lol. Yes, there strong!!

I should've snagged a picture...but i was too into getting that half done.

I have a DIRS. I leave it in place. Let me tell you how much fun doing the diff with new plugs was after that...lol

I use a long ball end hex key to get the diff fill and drain plugs out. The magnets on them help keep the plug stuck to the blade. I usually don’t have a problem getting the plugs in and out and I have a P4D Diff brace on my car.

Just picked up a batch of plugs from the dealership today, it took almost a month to get them. I’ll be making up some plugs here in the next few days if anybody wants any get them while I have them, seeming like they’ve been getting hard to get from the dealership of late.

First oil change with mine. Nice.

Regular 5/16 short arm and a cheater on the drain is great. The fill I custom cut a length of 5/16 to just fit and give enough room to get a closed end wrench on it.

Fishing the old plug out of the brace and feeding the new plug in...then tossing the new fill plug up top? Of course at that instant nothing wanted to catch threads. Lol

As far as did they catch anything? The oil pan had one suspect metal shaving and the oil cooler as well but the oil looked good and had no abnormal flakes or color.

The old diff fluid had at least 2 years and 3 full drag & drives all with basement 10s passes every track. About an average amount of clutch material. No discoloration. Using Motul Gear Comp 75w-140 with an extra smidgen of FM. Not a lot. Maybe 1-2oz to treat a 2nd bottle which tops it off. The first one goes in with zero added FM.

Have new batch of plugs made, Engine and oil cooler drain plugs, Diff Fill and Drain, and A8 drain plugs. Made a change to the Diff drain plug, doubled magnet size and oriented them to attracting poles on tips, testing showed better collection on both plugs verses opposing polarity on the tips, which I did to help prevent them snapping together and chipping or shattering but they collect better with a attracting field created between the 2 verses opposing, $10 more for the set but the magnet is twice as strong now in the drain plug.
