Featuring a permanently mounted magnet that traps ferrous metal bits suspended in your oil. These Titanium Magnetic drain plugs trap tiny particles that are unable to be caught by your oil filter. This leaves you with a cleaner engine, and ultimately less unneeded wear on your engine bearings and oil pump. Manufactured of 6AL-4V Titanium, the Turner M12 magnetic drain plugs are much stronger than any 7075 or 6061 Aluminum drain plug out there. Turner M12 magnetic drain plugs also capture many metal particles from wearing or recently rebuilt engines.

Flushing brake fluid is a commonly overlooked maintenance service for most car owners. Fluid should be flushed every 1-2 years as a good service plan, however checking with the manufacturer's suggestions is best. A simple way to tell if the fluid is in need of a change is by looking at the color, new fluid will have a slight yellow hue while amber is the sign of a needed flush. Because brake fluid is hygroscopic, its designed to hold moisture away from the metal internals to prevent corrosion. Like a sponge the fluid can only hold so much moisture before becoming ineffective.
