Default Magnetic Tranny and Diff Plugs Stock?

Just curious, does a 2002 coupe come with magnetic tranny and diff oil plugs? I'm changing both to redline this weekend, and would want to have them if I don't already. Cheap insurance.

Mine weren't and I haven't heard of anyone getting their car with them stock. I have heard that the standard GM oil pan replacement plug is magnetic though.

It's good, cheap insurance and also nice to see a "snapshot" of magnetic particles when you do a fluid swap. I had just a few small particles stuck to mine after my h/c job. Definitely a no-brainer.

Our 03 AE Vert didn't come with magnetic plugs :( , I've added them and they are working even as we speak! :D :D
