Adhesive Question
….. What to use to glue the magnet into the oil pan drain plug ? … Obviously immersed in oil … sometimes HOT oil … I was thinking red Loctite but thought I'd check with y'all first ! …..

I would use a hi heat two part epoxy adhesive, like JB Weld.
You could also try a product called Rockset, it's used by gunsmiths as a hi-temp threadlocker/adhesive for flash suppressors mounted on gun barrels.

….. It does … UNTIL a more attractive draw comes along … like when you remove the plug from the pan and find the magnet stuck to the bung it just came out of … that's how I discovered the issue … I'd really rather the magnet and plug were better bonded …..

If you use an adhesive of any thickness you may not be able to push the magnet into the hole. Also, don't put any adhesive into the hole before inserting the magnet.

NOT to hijack this conversation, but what size plug (mm/inches) fits my stock oil pan in a 1996 LT1? What's a good quality magnetic brand to buy?
