[TR] Oils and the Sump Drain Plug Magnet

[Geo Hahn]

Seems unlikely to me since iron & nickel are the only common elements I
know of that are attracted to the magnets.

I do modify those magnetic drain plugs commonly sold by breaking and
digging out the fairly lame magnet that comes in them and JBWelding a
rare-earth magnet in its place.
