Where's the best place to purchase a magnetic drain plug for the AT?

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave

why do you think you need one? If you think you need one why don't you think Honda fitted one? This, IMO this is a bit old school for a modern engine and I am old school! I have been building and maintaining engines since I was 16, up to 9 million cc Marine Diesels. Change the oil on plan or as regular as you like and forget about it.

This was a condescending message from Tel.....:surprise:

Dimple Oil drain plug magnets and earth magnets and work great. I've had them on two other bikes. I purchased them about 4,000 miles ago for my AT and on the last oil change the bike had very little to nothing more then a light film of black on the tip. I would recommend them if you're looking.

To answer the other question asked by another forum member, no the AT does not come stock with a magnetic drain plug. I've been told little or no Honda's have them but I don't really know if that's true.

You can also just stick a rear earth magnet on the outside of the filter if you want to collect metal shavings (not that a Honda would have any).
