Oil plug madness
06/04/16 at 10:53:17

I'd like to get a magnetic oil plug for my savage, I've seen the cheap aluminum ones on flebay, but I want to steer clear of them. I would like one made of steel or something of that sort and a flange, like the original, which ones do you use? And is length an issue if it's shorter than stock? I've heard good stuff about goldplug, but I don't know which one to get.

Thanks In advance.

When stuff starts failing, it may Not know how much care it has been given. Take, whatever, determine the depth of the threads. Buy a plug with enough threads to fill it. Get Rotella 15-40, Run the Snot outta that thing.
