    Just drained the transmission oil on my 2011 4WD Tacoma with a 5-speed manual. There is no magnet on the drain plug. The only thing that differentiates it from the fill plug is that the fill has a dab of yellow paint, the drain, a dab of orange.

    Did they mess up in manufacturing? Should I worry?

    Wish I knew this going into it, because I would have picked two up (transfer case also does not have a magnet). Next time - in about 50k miles...
