are those worth buying?
why not? it helps keeping metal from recycling back into the oil which could potentially damage bearing surfaces…although if pieces came out, itd be to late already…probably be best for rebuilt motors
and some manufacturers use them as stock equipment…
BTW rev-auto sells them as well
QUOTE “Are those worth buying?”
couldnt hurt could it?
well not really but the damage could already be done
get some magnets and stick em to the back side of the oil pan above the drain plug, when you do an oil change remove them and pull the plug, all the shaving will release and flow out with the oil. works great.
