Description
The Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drain Plug MMODP-12125B is a black, M12 x 1.25 replacement plug machined from billet 6061 aluminum and fitted with a neodymium magnet. Built as an upgrade for the drain plug already inside your car engine, it swaps out the factory piece with an improved design intended to keep working long after a standard OEM plug would. A Dowty oil seal is included, so it’s ready to install without hunting down extra hardware.
When people talk about the parts of a car engine that quietly do the most work, the oil drain plug rarely gets mentioned – yet it’s one of the few components of an automobile engine that sits directly in the path of every drop of oil circulating through the system. The Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drain Plug uses its neodymium magnet to catch the fine metal debris and fragments that an oil filter can miss, holding onto that material instead of letting it recirculate through internal engine parts. For anyone assembling a list of car engine parts meant to protect long-term reliability, a magnetic drain plug is a simple, low-cost addition that targets contamination at the source, helping reduce wear inside the engine over time.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drain Plug is designed for most Toyota and Nissan vehicles, using a metric M12 x 1.25 thread pitch to match factory drain plug openings on applicable models. As a direct-fit replacement, it’s intended as a drop-in upgrade wherever the stock plug uses this thread size and pattern.
