Mag drain plug is a great idea. It stops particles from destroying the oil pump. Oil pump comes first, then the filter. So the filter cannot protect the oil pump.

This is what the bolt looks like when it's clean:



No need to be alarmed, that big clump of black stuff isnt made of pure metallic shavings

magnetic drain plugs are great. i had one on my integra for 4 yrs and put one on my s2k when i did my first oil change. they really do work. you can buy them at any autoparts store for $5. great purchase.
