just go look before you ask for it.

On another note. I just changed my tranny fluid again today. I have the magnetic drain bolts and wow the tranny bolt was almost fully covered in metal. i reccomend everyone get a set.

You can make your own Magnetic bolt for free if it is long enough... Just take a small guage, like 20-22 ga, insulated wire and wrap it around the drain bolt, (Like a coil) and flash the ends across your battery terminals..

works great for magnetizing screw drivers..

As far as Change intervals... OEM Recommended unless using AMSOIL MTF... up to 3 X OEM Interval.

You asked about buying magnetic drain bolt...

if the bolt is long enough to get a few wraps of wire (22 ga is telephone wire) just wrap it around the bolt leaving a tail on each end and flash your battery with the ends.. it will magnetize whatever steel you have wrapped the wire around..

It is jst like making a coil.

thats a good idea but i would be scared that something might happen and i might lose the wire and shit. I have the skunk2 magnetic drain bolts and they were like 25 bucks. i did see the other day at autozone that they have mag drain bolts for like 5 bucks. i dont think the bolt will fit in your motor oil one tho. the skunk 2 come with 2 bolts. 1 for the tranny and the other for the motor.
