Magnetic Oil Drain plug

Where can I get a magnetic oil drain plug? I know this has been discussed but I can't find anything through the search function.

How much are they?

Thanks,
BT-22

Just ordered one last night from www.avlube.com.

About $35 with shipping.

I think the neobium magnet drain plug is worth it for someone planning on keeping their engine a long time. Everytime I drain my oil the magnet has a fine coating of gray iron and steel particles that are so small that they pass through the filter. I'd think that these particles are abrasive even though they're very small.

I run the Amsoil dual remote oil filter set-up and I also installed the magnet drain plug shortly after the oil filter install. When I change oil I have noticed the magnet is absolutely clean. Based on Ken's post I can only conclude the by-pass filter must be doing its job.
