Assure proper crankshaft clearance for a drain plug?
At Autozone I was told this magnetic drain plug will work for my car. MOTORMITE OIL DRAIN PLUG
On the website it says assure proper Crankshaft Clearence.
The guy at the store couldn't help me much. How would I do this?

Hmm that must be one really big plug if theres a chance it may hit the crank. You can stick something in the drain oil that will go in as far as the plug would. Then crank the engine over by hand and see if it hits.

I just realized this is the second question youve asked about a magnetic drain plug and theres an easier solution than buying one. If you rub a magnet on the drain plug you have it will become magnetized. Problem solved.
