    I'm seriously considering a magnetic drain plug. Can someone tell me the size of one on a 2021 with the 3.5L?

    i would advise against a magnetic drain plug. i tried running one for a little while, the absolute worst part was that as soon as you go to pull it out of the pan, the magnet grabs the side of the hole, and will always re-direct the hot oil stream anywhere and everywhere except where you've laid cardboard, or the drain pan. so then i ended up burning my fingers trying to grab it out of the diverted stream, coating my arm in oil, all the while dumping 2 full quarts of dirty oil all over my driveway...

    between my fumoto valve and clip-on tube, and motiv-x filter changing tools, my swear jar has gone from paying for expensive nights out to barely covering small fast food runs...
