PROS OF OUR MAGNETIC OIL DRAIN PLUG
PREMIUM QUALITY, MADE IN THE USA: Our Votex drain plugs are made in the USA, from the stainless-steel bar stock material, the CNC machine that cuts our plugs, right down to the hands that craft each individual one. We construct our drain plugs with pride and care in our home state of Wisconsin. This ensures that your plug will be manufactured with real-quality stainless steel (not pot metal) that will last for countless years to come. Included with the drain plug is a high temperature o-ring.
HIGH-TEMPERATURE NEODYMIUM MAGNET: What makes our drain plug unique, outside of its flawless craftsmanship and top-notch materials is what’s at the heart of it: a high-temperature neodymium magnet. Our plug uses a rare-earth, high-strength neodymium magnet, rated specifically to function in high-temperature environments, ensuring the extraction of unwanted ferrous particles from your vehicle’s engine. The VOTEX drain plug magnet will operate in temperatures up to 302°F; this is higher than most standard magnets, which stop working at 175°F. Quality motor oil will tolerate oil temperatures up to 250°F but will start breaking down once it reaches 275°F. The operating temperature for engine oil is between 194 and 230°F, so our magnet will work at temperatures far past that of engine oil.
Also, neodymium magnets are one of the strongest magnets available on the planet, and we use one of the strongest-grade versions available. Our magnet has the strength to hold weights over 2.2 lbs! This empowers our plug with enormous strength to effectively pull unwanted metals out of your motor oil, resulting in longer engine life. Loose metal debris in your engine oil will slowly cause wear on the internals of your engine. Our magnet will extract the small metal particles that are too fine for oil filters to catch. Oil filters are designed to catch particles larger than 35 microns. It will also capture larger metal shavings that plug oil filters.
PREMIUM STAINLESS STEEL: The drain plug market has a plethora of options that are constructed of aluminum. Aluminum is an inferior metal choice due to its inferior strength and will commonly shear or snap, leaving you with a broken plug stuck in your oil pan. Aluminum has no place as a material for a drain plug. Our stainless steel is sourced from the States, promising not to be a weak, recycled material often found in foreign metals.
PROMISED PERFORMANCE: If you're not 100% satisfied with the quality or performance of your drain plug, you may return it for a full refund!
EASY TO INSTALL: Our plug installs in place of your current drain plug. It will arrive with a high temperature o-ring, which is recommended to be replaced with every oil change. Simply wipe the magnet free of debris during the oil change.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Bridgewood, Inc. is not liable for damage incurred due to an incorrectly installed drain plug. Inspect the magnet prior to installation to make sure there is no damage caused by improper handling during transit. When installing our drain plug, it is essential to make sure one consults their owner’s repair manual to obtain the proper torque specifications. Note: Check to make sure there is proper clearance for the drain plug, slowly turn over by hand the engine or drive gear, making sure there is no contact with internal components. Check your application for usage. Drain plug may differ from the factory OEM drain plug. Install plug at your discretion.
