Re: Magnetic oil pan /transmission pan drain plugs?

Basically,it comes down to,the fact that there are microscopic particles of metal in any engine.These particles will increase wear.Anything you can do to reduce them reduces wear.The magnets will trap some of those oil borne particles thus reducing wear.This is true of any mechanical part with lubrication and even without lube.
Another area of wear is airborne particules.The air filter helps remove much of that but some enters and can get into the oil and cylinders.One other item to help reduce this wear is filtration.Filters are rated by microns,the smaller the micron rating on a filter,the smaller particles it traps.This is good up to the point where flow is restricted too much to provide proper lubrication.
