im an apprentice for a CAT dealership and CAT machinery has mostly all magnetic plugs.. and they are in everything ranging from diffs to hubs, to axels to sumps. its not so much to collect the particles but to tell when to overhaul a component. on brand new cars, i would recommend that as soon as you get it, dump the oil and install a magnetic sump plug and then every 1000kms for 10 000km you should dump the oil and see how much metal is on the plug.. there will be heaps as all the moving internal parts are wearing in and shed metal filings.
