Default Is C5 drain plug magnetic?

Do C5's come with a magnetic drain plug from the factory?

No. I was at a dealer with a friend, and they swapped the nonmagnetic for a magnetic plug for him for free. I think I paid less than $5.00 to get one - I just added it to an order from Ken that I was getting anyway.

The replacement part is magnetic, but they are not delivered with one. Go figure.
