Default Spoon magnetic drain bolts question.

Heh I was thinking how hard can these be to install? But this baffles me. I keep getting different answers. Let's see what the consensus here is.

Oh, Morgan, you know I love to waste money. I think you missed my 36 square feet of Dynomat episode. Besides, it's SPOON, man

You'd better start working on Hondas again. You're thinking of the fill holes, not the drain holes
Besides, the stock tranny drain bolt is not even hex, it's a 3/8" square hole you put a socket in.

I take it you mean oil pan? Once again another purchase that is not necessary. Take your oil pan to any local welder and show him a pick of the baffle in an honda oil pan and he can do it for 1/3 of the price if not less. Or just ship it to me and I will put it in. (I am still trying to convince Corey to let me baffle his pan)
Plus the Accord doesn't have a large oil-starvation problem. If you do experience one fill the car with oil about a cm over full of the dipstick.
