Default Oil drain plug question????

I'm going to install a magnetic drain plug. Does the LS1 require a "special" plug or will a generic GM type plug work?

I bought mine from Eckler's...so I guess that's a generic type and doesn't need any special tools.

It works too :D :cheers:

Ken Fichtner has them. I ordered UPF44 filters and the drain plug when I bought my Coupe. I think the plug was around $2.50.
