I've got the magnetic drain plug that Dan supplies, but since I don't do my own work I don't know anything more about it. Maybe give Dan a shout? He should be able to point you to another source or sell you one or two himself.

I had the shop show me the magnetic plug at the 1,200-mile oil change, and it had a modest layer of gray mud-looking material attached to it. So it is doing its job. I didn't look at the plug at the time of the second oil change; my guess is that there was either much less or no accumulation of the kind of material the plug attracted before the first oil change. I think I'll look at it again after the next oil change.
