You will be fine man. The magnet is nice because if there is a possibilty of any shavings or pieces of metal in he oil, it will be drawn to the magnet. But your motor with be just fine with the non-magnetic plug.

Why is it leaking? replace the washer?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

The drain plug itself doesn't seal. The plastic washer that is on it does. You need a new washer, not a new drain plug.Comment

Yea i just saw a bad scrape on the plug thats why i assumed it was bad...i replace it with a new washer and it works perfect hasnt dripped or anything..im guessing the other washer was faulty..so know have a new drain plug for nothing lol...thx you
