Why Should You Use A Magnetic Sump Plug?
If you want to maximise your engine's performance, it is highly recommended that you use magnetic sump plugs. These plugs are similar to standard ones but have a powerful magnet attached to the end.
By being placed inside the sump or oil pan, they can collect any metal particles circulating in the engine, which can significantly impact the health and longevity of your engine.
As parts of your engine wear down over time, they can release small metal filings into the oil, which, if left unaddressed, can cause severe damage by blocking the oil pump.
However, magnetic sump plugs can quickly identify any metal bits collected during an oil change inspection, ensuring your engine stays healthy and performs at its best.
We've received numerous customer reports about how our magnetic sump plugs have saved their engines from severe damage. In one case, a lost oil pump bolt was caught by the strong magnet of our plug, which prevented the engine from blowing. This is a clear testament to the effectiveness of our product.
Installing our magnetic sump plugs is a simple and cost-effective upgrade. All you need to do is remove the OEM sump plug bolt and replace it with ours. Our plugs also have an anodised finish, which gives them a sleek, lasting look.
Our sump plugs are also cross-drilled for use with safety wire, which ensures the magnetic sump plug will not come loose, even in high-performance racing applications, where this is a more common practice.
With all these benefits, there's no reason not to consider using magnetic sump plugs to protect your engine and keep it performing at its best.

Exoracing Magnetic Sump Plug Installation Guide:
Our Exoracing magnetic sump plugs are very simple and easy to install; follow our guide below for the best practices:
- Firstly, you will want to ensure the engine oil is warm but not hot, as this will allow you to remove the most oil and contaminants possible.
- Jack or lift the car, using a ramp or trolley jack, making sure to use axle stands for safety.
- Remove the old sump plug and drain the excess oil into a pan or drainage container. Also, remove the oil filter simultaneously, as you may change this while you're here.
- Once all the old oil has been drained, install a brand new oil filter and the new magnetic sump plug, making sure to use the newly supplied crush washer.
- Torque the magnetic drain plug to 15 ft/lb, remove the axle stands and lower the car back down.
- Fill the engine to the correct line using brand-new oil, and let the car run for a few minutes.
- Recheck the oil level and ensure no leaks from the oil filter or magnetic sump plug.
- Enjoy your Exoracing sump plug whilst it's catching harmful engine contaminents.
As a side note, if you are not confident installing a sump plug or changing engine oil, please ask a professional mechanic to install it.
