Porsche 911 996 997 Engine Oil Drain Plug Magnetic 18 X 1.5 Mm Boxster Cayman on 2040-parts.com

JUST BE SURE TO CHECK, since I do NOT like the buyer to be disappointed.

Exceptionally STRONG custom “STRIP RESISTANT” “forged” steel magnetic oil drain plug.

FOR Porsche 911 996 997 Boxster Cayman using a M18x1.5 socket headed threaded plug. PLEASE CHECK YOUR OLD PLUG TO VERIFY THAT IT HAS M18X1.5 threads.

HAVING A MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG TO CATCH IRON AND STEEL PARTICLES IS ONE OF THE BEAT WAYS TO DETECT A FAILING (IMS) OR “IMMEDIATE SHAFT BEARING” IN SOME OF THESE Porsche model’s engines.

Three times as strong as the standard OEM 6061 machined aluminum plug with the small 8mm socket head that is easily stripped out.

I sourced the highest quality “forged steel” Japanese made plug with a much larger strip resisting 10mm hex socket with hardened “rolled” instead of die cut threads.

Hot “die forging” and rolling of the threads work hardens the entire plug to give both the threads and the hex socket exceptional strength.

Even annealed or non hardened steel has at least twice the strength, hardness and wear resistance of 6011 aluminum.

Soft 6061 aluminum is NOT the ideal material to use for the oil drain plug. Dissimilar materials allows easy “no galling” run down and tightening of the oil drain plug in the cast aluminum drain hole.

While aluminum will not rust, there is NO advantage to an aluminum plug, because the area of mating of the threads of the oil sump is ABOVE the sealing area of the aluminum “crush washer” gasket.

Basically, no corrosion will occur between the threads as they are continuously bathed in engine oil.

The zinc chromate outer plating is very rust resistant and meets DIN, SAE and JIS corrosion revisiting standards, and will last for years of removal, refitting, and in place under the car.

The center of the plug is not just drilled or bored. It is milled with a FLAT BOTTOM hole to accept the FLAT END of a 15 pound pull N50 high grade neodymium rare earth magnet. Green 640 high strength Loctite. 640 designed for manufacturers to secure cylinder sleeves into engine blocks is used to lock the magnet permanently into the drain plug.

After ALL of that preparation, the magnetic drain plugs are “oven baked” to make sure that the Loctite 640 fully cures.

One of the photos show an assembled plug and an unassembled one with uninstalled magnet.

Other photos compare and OEM Porsche plug with the NEW custom made exceptionally strong and durable magnetic drain plug.
