The OEM AT sump magnet is perfectly fine

I heard spoon is good


Edit:
You must ne doing alot of kms to be changing the ATF that often

any idea where i can source them? are they picking up much each service?

To be clear, i dont do a full flush every year (i.e fill 3 times and drain) I just drain as much as i can and replace that yearly

They pick up a little bit
But if there's alot on the plug i'd be worried / or its getting to the plug before it goes through the filter

They won't leak when they are new. But over time, that nylon seal will only need to get a "groove" from a foreign particle, such as a small shaving of metal etc, and it will. In my previous line of work ( I am now retired) I dealt with this type of valve on a daily basis and eventually they all leaked.
But that could be after 5 or 6 years, or even 8 -10, but also conversely after 6-12 months. In 98% of cases, it was damage from foreign material that caused the leak.
