Default C8 Oil Drain Plug


Does anyone know if there's a magnetic version of this stock C8 oil drain plug being offered for sale?

It's ferrous metal. Why not just magnetize it?

Are you sure? I would guess it's aluminum like the C7. The magnetic drain plugs for that car have a magnet inserted at the tip of the plug.

It clings to a magnet. I have a spare one that I tested this morning before I made the post. I don't know what the sump is made of, but the torque spec is only 25 Nm and it has a silicone gasket so I guess it will work on soft materials.
