Default Kics Magnetic Drain Plug Help

Ok, so I'm changing my Trans fluid to Amsoil and knew I needed a new drain plug. I kinda stripped mine last round of fluid change. So I thought why not spend a little more and get a magnetic one in place of the stock plug. My question is will the one I bought work on my 06 Si? The part number is listed below. The plug looks small from the last time I changed mine. But I don't want to get under the car and it not work. Thanks for the help guy's.


Size: M14X1.50 (Honda/Suzuki/Mazda/Mitsubishi) Color: Blue

Kics Project Magnetic Drain Plugs will extend the life of your engine and transmission.

How did you strip yours? Forget to put on the washer? Tighten it with an air tool? Are you sure you didn't strip the threads in the trans?

It looks similar to my PasswordJDM magnetic plug. How much did you pay for it?

It was when I was taking it off, I kinda stripped the head on the outside.

It was $16.99

How much was yours? Have you noticed anything on it? Or have you not changed it since you added it?

Oh good, that's better than the threads being stripped...a lot better lol. Were you trying to use the wrong sized wrench/socket?

There's been quite a bit on mine both times I've changed my fluid. I bought mine with a PWJDM oil drain plug and together they were $30. Mine have pretty big and strong magnets.

Hell yeah it is. I've been told there is a magnet already in the trans but mine picks up an awful lot.

I meant in size. But besides that, not really. The PWJDM ones just have longer magnets protruding from the threaded area, oh and they are a bronze-ish color, not blue.

Ok,s o I put my Amsoil trans fluid in last night and installed the Kics plug.

For the record, the Kics Drain Plug fits. Make sure you buy blue. I'm going to purchase another for my oil.

AND, I know this thread isn't about Amsoil Trans Fluid, but this stuff is GREAT!!! Makes the Honda seem like crap, and as for the Motul. No comment.

If anyone was curious if they should buy Amsoil trans fluid, BUY IT. Best thing I have bought to smooth the notchiness and 2nd and 3rd problems.
