Hey Rochesterian, read above for the proper bolt/thread size.

What color Evo are you driving around here? I've only seen a yellow, black, red, and one blue other than myself.

Somebody post a pic of the magnetic oil drain plug immediately upon pulling it for an oil change. It's hard to believe there would be metal accumulation. I'd expect anything to be trapped in the oil filter. Plus I don't think the metal from the plain bearings is ferrous anyway. Guess there could be machining debris in a brand new engine that might be magnetic but again, wouldn't it be in the filter?

yeah.... I agree that it's a waste. I have an oil temp sensor in place of a generic oil drain plug.

As usual, people who've never done something expecting to know something about it.

Hmph.
