Wasnt magnetic when I changed my trans fluid a couple months ago. If it is, its really weak. The one I purchased from ECS was way stronger.

Most of them list them wrong ,i allready told skunk 2 this months ago.They all still think the new honda's still use the same thread between the transmission and oil pan.

Transmission is M20x1.5 ,oil pan is m14 x1.5 on the 10th gen civic.The older honda's always had the same thread .I bought Dimple magnetic drain bolts , they are very strong much stronger then Skunk2 or others. M14x1.5 ,16mm long for the oil pan and m20x1.5 ,14mm long for the transmission.
Only downside of the dimple bolts are that they use a smaller hex size and also smaller seal rings.Which means you can't use the oem sealing ring .I just bought 20pc of the oem size before i ordered the dimple bolts...Dimple
do you have a link to the transmission drain plug? dimple has the M14 listed for Hondas on their site.

I don’t think Dimple is around anymore. I purchased from them and got nothing after a month. Had to open a PayPal case and got my money back after they tried to contact them. The ECS tuning bolt I reference in this thread works just great.
