Hi all, I’m looking into a set of magnetic drain plugs but I was wondering about the durability of these. Do they need to be changed on oil/gearbox changes or are they quite long lasting?

Thanks all.
 
Should be a 1 time purchase, no reason to change it unless you break and snap it etc. Take it out each oil change, clean it up, put it back in. No issues with mine

Okay, perfect. Thanks for your reply, Pete!

I change mine every service. only because i get cheap ones and dont trust them one bit
 
I got the Blox one for the oil and gearbox. Longer magnet on one of them and picks us a decent amount of crap. Think they're about £18 for pair.
