Why? Do you have engine problems? Otherwise with a new engine, synthetic oil and good filter none needed.

Bearings, etc. are made from none magnetic materials. Wouldn't be a bad idea in a tranny or transfer case where there are more steel wear metals present.

Wonder if there are any Jeepers out there that know if a magnetic t-case drain plug is available? I would have liked to have one the other day when I changed my fluid.

I currently have feelers out to two companys about the tranny and transfer case magnetic drain plugs, hope to be able to pass along info by Monday or Tuesday.
