Fits your Gen3 New MINI Cooper and Cooper S F54 Clubman, F55 Hardtop 4-Door, F56 Hardtop, F57 Convertible, F60 Countryman, R61 Paceman 2013+
Dimple™ Super Magnetic M18 x 1.5 Transmission Oil Drain Plug for the Getrag 6-speed Manual Transmission! Select plug with washer and / or extra washers for future oil changes.
The oil in your manual transmission is NOT filtered, which means that metallic particles are continually circulated through the gears and bearings. Although the 6-speed transmission does have a small magnet inside the gearbox, this magnetic drain plug provides added protection from this Super Magnetic Drain plug. Head is 17mm Hex.
Dimple™ Super Magnetic Manual Transmission Oil Drain Plug fits the Getrag 6-speed Manual Gearbox on the following models:
2014-2022 F56 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop
2015-2022 F55 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop 4-Door
2016-2022 F57 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertible
2016-2022 F54 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Clubman
2017-2022 F60 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Countryman
We recommend the use of anti-seize compound to avoid electrolysis which can cause the plug to fuse with the case...
In 1932 manufacturers began using magnets on drain plugs on cars and trucks. Today most manufacturers want to save the additional cost of a magnet and they feel it will get through the warranty period without it. Perhaps you changed the oil on your father's car and recall wiping that gray mud off the drain plug! Yep, that gray stuff was metal particles captured by the typical low powered alnico magnet mounted on the drain plug in those days. The drain plug is removed when you change your oil. It’s an excellent place to put a magnet because you can remove it and clean it. Well, those older alnico magnets helped some but how helpful would the most powerful magnets in the world be? Like one hundred times more powerful!
You might think a magnet is a magnet is a magnet, but that's not true!! This Magnetic Oil Drain Plug uses the Neodymium magnet which is one of the strongest available and doesn't lose its magnetic properties at higher temperatures like other magnets.
You will see after your first oil change how well this product works!
Tightening Torque for transmissions drain plug:
Cooper: 32-40 Nm (24-30 ft-lb)
Cooper S: 43 Nm (32 ft-lb)
NOTE:
There are some health hazards of note. Neodymium magnets should always be handled carefully. Strong magnetic fields can disrupt the operation of some internal medical devices such as pacemakers. While most solid state electronic devices are not affected by magnetic fields, some medical devices are not manufactured to mitigate the effects of strong magnetic fields. These design flaws can be hazardous to patients using these devices. If swallowed, neodymium magnets can cause lethal conditions by joining up inside the intestine.
Neodymium magnets are made with special powders and coatings, so they are very fragile. They are often plated with a metal such as nickel. The magnets can fracture at temperatures over 150 °C, or under impact as a result of their own acceleration. When this happens, in some cases the magnets may break apart so suddenly that flying pieces can cause injury.
Caution must be taken when using neodymium magnets. A neodymium magnet is powerful enough to destroy the contents of a floppy disk to such an extent that the information is unrecoverable, a guarantee not present with techniques such as formatting the disk. In addition, neodymium magnets are one of the only materials that can successfully erase the information contained on the magnetic stripes of credit cards. Neodymium magnets are often strong enough to not only magnetize color CRT metal shadow masks, but also physically deform the mask itself. Such damage is typically not repairable by degaussing.
NEVER PUT THE MAGNETS IN A FIRE, THE FUMES WILL BE TOXIC!
