Default thats because they got caught up during the circulation of the oil. where did you get yours?
im running magnetic drain plugs in the toyota and truck that i got from autozone. didnt find any for the audi yet. i cant remember who it was but someone living close to ecs got a plug thrown in for free some weeks ago.

Default I remember reading about filter magnets, forgot who sold them.
they go right on the oil filter and probably do something similar.

Default It's not a new idea, just a new product from ECS apparently.
These have been around for years.

usps priority is only $4.05 and their box is free. They're making good $$ on the shipping

Default If I desired one of these, I'd epoxy a commonly available magnet to my stock drain plug
$20 shipped isn't appealing at all.

Default We do not use USPS, we use UPS
We are looking into using USPS but had problems in times past when using them.
