Fumoto F106 M14-1.5 Drain Valve for the Wrangler JL

[Hercules]

For those that aren't aware, the stock 2018 JL, 3.6L engine, oil pan drain plug, is not magnetized.

For those that might be interested in the "Magnetic Gold Plug" (there are other brand magnetic plugs also) you can find info about it here: https://goldplug.com/

Note: If you want the Fumoto, and are also concerned about "metal shavings" floating around in your engine, install the Fumoto Oil Drain Valve and then just take a strong Neodymium Rare Earth Disc Magnet ($4--) and attach it to the bottom of your JL's oil pan. Leave it there all the time.

Leave the magnet there until just before oil change, when hot engine is off, and then remove the magnet. The metal shavings will flow out with the dirty oil when you open the Fumoto Oil Drain Valve.

You can also do this if you are just keeping the factory drain plug and want to catch shavings.

What size magnet would you suggest? Any thought to plasti dip for corrosion resistance?

Use a "Gun Magnet". You remove the gun magnet, after engine is off and just before you drain the oil. After oil change re-attach the gun magnet to the bottom of the oil pan.

I have been using the same gun magnet for over 4 yrs.. Still looks like new thanks to the rubberized coating on it.

You want a gun magnet that is coated with rubberized coating, holds approx. 40 - 55# and with measurements very close to this... 3.93"L x 1.45"W x 0.43"H.

You can find them on Amazon and they are inexpensive.
