And as a bonus, I noticed a 1000% mpg increase as soon as I did it!!

Quite a few rigs use magnets in the oil drain plug to catch ferrous metal, when you find a bunch at an oil change it's time to sell the car. Flip side of that if you see a car advertised as just had an oil change/tune up steer clear.
