Default Gold Plug Magnetic Sump Plugs now available



In the past we’ve often been asked if we sell magnetic sump plugs? Well we have some good news – WE DO NOW and they're not just any magnetic sump plug they're Gold Plug all the way from the US of A! These plugs feature the most powerful magnets in the world and they knock the socks of their competitors and they look the business too!

As a start we are now stocking 12 different variations, however these 12 cover hundreds if not thousands of cars and bikes including BMW’s, Ford, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mini, Toyota, Nissan, Lexus, Land Rover, Volvo, Subaru, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Honda, Mazda, Saab, Kia, Peugeot, Renault, Citroen, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Harley Davidson – the list is endless but don’t worry we have created a look up guide for the ones we have that can be found here > > >

All plugs are priced on our web site at £15.59 before 10% members discount (£14.03 after discount!). Where possible club discount codes can be found in our signature, however if it's not then drop us a PM and we will let you know.

Once you have found your required plug then visit our Gold Plug section of our web site and add to your basket. If however you have any questions on these then feel free to give us a call on 01209 202949 or send us an email to sales@opieoils.co.uk or just ask us on the forum and we will be happy to help.

Cheers

Just having Volvo in your look-up guide is a bit vague. Are they all the same? Does the same one fit an AmazonB18 and a V70 5 cylinder, say, or the later Ford derivatives?

Hi

Yes, the information is a bit vague, but that is what they gave us. There is a bit more of a detailed look up on their site though.

Cool

Volvo don't even get on the list until 1983 when the only model catered for is the 760GLE. Not very astute commercially I'd say.

Hi

Their data is primarily aimed at the American market, so some 'normal' marques in the UK are missing.

There is also the issue of data for older vehicles that we find with all look up guides. As some of the older data is so difficult to get hold of now, we often find that information for 80s or earlier cars is rare. If it's any use to you, the sizes of the plugs that we have are below.

Plug Thread Diameter Thread Pitch
AP02 14mm 1.5
AP03 12mm 1.25
AP05 18mm 1.5
AP06 14mm 1.25
AP07 20mm 1.5
AP08 14mm 1.5
AP10 16mm 1.5
AP11 12mm 1.5

Cheers

Tim

Thanks for that info Tim. Unfortunately for me, and any other Amazon owners who might be interested, our engines are pre metric.

I guess the metric sizes rule out anything Volvo 240 or earlier (unless the Dutch stuff was different)?

I spoke to our supplier late yesterday and there is a new shipment coming over, with imperial sizes. We'll update you when they come in.

Cheers
