If you care about your motorcycle, you probably want to do everything you can to keep your engine healthy. In which case, you might be considering installing a magnetic drain plug to help your oil stay clean. But are magnetic drain plugs effective? Or is there a better option, and if they work, why don’t all motorcycles have them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea is that the magnetic drain plug sits at the bottom of the engine, and as oil swirls past it, the magnet will attract and trap any ferromagnetic metals present in the oil. So, anything that will give your engine a longer life as smart as this device is worth every cent you spend on it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That means the magnet will attract steel alloys like those used in your bearings in your crankshaft, but it won’t affect the aluminum used in stuff like your piston and your clutch basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
