    Whats the difference

    It looks like the one i pulled out the car has a magnet and the one i got from pelican parts doesnt.. would this do any harm to my car if i put without the magnet?? replacing cuz old oil drain plug leaking..

      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?

                      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.
