Switched to a magnetic tip oil drain plug last year. Don't have a ton of miles on it (only 7.8k on the car, 2020 Bullitt and 4 HPDE days. Stock engine). First time pulling the plug and this is what I got for metal shavings.
Edit: checked and magnetic plug installed late last year. Barely any miles on the car with it installed so whatever shavings it caught were already in there.
This type of plug has a drain key so all the oil flows past the magnetic tip while draining. I'm thinking this is fine and I'm just collecting what had been sitting in the pan but don't want to mess around.
I don't beat on the car and haven't noticed any performance issues.
