Magnet in the oil pan. . . Oops?

Zyonara91

Hello ladies and gents,

First off, hope you are all well and staying safe at a time such as this.

Recently I was doing an oil change and was putting my magnetic oil plug back into the oil drain hole. Simple as it is, I think I was rushing a bit and I twisted it too much and voila, the damn aluminum plug snapped. Fear not, I was able to get the plug out with a left hand drill bit.

However, I had to push the magnet part into the pan in order to get the left hand drill bit to take the part of the plug that was in the drain hole. The magnet itself is, well, now in the drain pan and I am contemplating whether to drop the pan to take it out, OR should I leave it in there if the case is that it would do no harm.

Your help and time are, as always, appreciated. Hopefully you got a good laugh out of this, I know I did. . . Well am.
