You're supposed to mount them in the sump so they'll work at slowly pulling the ferrous SWARF through the oil even when it's parked .
Once in a while I'll get an oldie that's *so* full of SWARF I'll put two magnetic drain plugs in it and clean both regularly , the upper one always has less , and finer SWARF on it . Magnets are very important , so much so that GM began putting them inside their slushbox trannys in the late 1970's ~ I find that more than 50 % of the Shop ' Mechanics ' are *so* lazy , they remove and discard these instead of cleaning and re installing them . Sigh . I hope this answered your Q. Bill ? . -Nate Bill wrote : > > Q: mount the magnetic plug high or low .and why?
