Thank you so much!The drain plugs are not magnetic. The oil plug is 14mm, the trans plug is 20mm.
I saw a video of this transmission fluid exchange for the Type R, and the plug did not appear to be magnetic, which is odd unless there is a separate mechanism that Honda chose to filter particulates.
My STi had a magnetic drain plug, which did get gunk after 20-30k miles.
In any case, I will try looking around for a place that makes a magnetic drain plug. A long time ago, I purchased a magnetic oil drain plug from a place called Dimple. They make magnetic drain plugs for other applications like transmissions, so Iāll start looking there.
Thanks again for the quick reply, and if I find a replacement magnetic drain plug, Iāll let yāall know in case anyone here is interested.
