Hey fella's,

I purchased a set of spoon magnetic plugs (tranny and engine sump) for my em1, and looking at them, 1 is longer than the other.
Who knows wot plug goes where?
Longer one in engine sump or vice versa?

not sure if that helps at all

I have had a magnetic engine sump plug in now for 12 months.

Last week when I done the oil change, I didnt have 1 speck of magentic material on my plug after 12 months!

I dare say the magnetic oil filter magnets would be more suitable, by trapping the contaminating particles in the filter, not at the bottom of the sump..

My engine sump plug is the shorter one in the picture, and I dare say I remember reading somewhere the longer plug goes inda the tranny......
