If your draining the oil from engine, trans, diffs or what ever and you want to see if there has been any nasty wear and the drain plugs arn't magnetic use a magnetic wand avaliable from most tool shops for around $7 just run it around the inside of the oil container and then gently stir it in some petrol
Something simple
Cheers Reece
Alternative 4 a magnetic sump plug
