You can also buy a similiar magnetic drain plug at your local Pep Boys for about the same price.

I had a problem with the nylon washer that came with the drain plug. My drain plug came loose and was ready to pop out when I just happened to catch it before disaster struck. It was finger tight when I checked it. I went back to the standard aluminum washer from Honda and have not had any problems since. Apparently the vibrations from 9000 RPM can/will loosen drain plugs with the wrong washer. Mine was tightened when it was installed.

RR,

Are the part #s the same for all model years? I have MY2000.

 

Yes -The site has that info under applications, and Honda has used the same thread and pitch for all its cars for more than a handful of years. 1994-2004. It is 14mm x 1.5 on our cars.

 

What about for the tranny and diff?

I want magnetic plugs all around after seeing the proof on another car last weekend!!! I was all set for a Fumoto, but the magnetic properties outweigh the convenience factor - no?

 

The Transmission supposedly has a large internal magnet. The diff comes with a magnetic plug stock.
