And I worry about the customers at some Porsche dealerships that are expecting the $40 fluid and getting the $10 fluid.
Of course, the same dealership will happily do a rebuild, I suppose.
Dealerships like to sell what they make the most money on, so an aftermarket gear lube would be their choice for that purpose.

If you really want a magnetic drain plug, there is an outfit called Gold Plug in Bozeman, Montana that will make a magnetic plug from any sample that you send them, as well as having an enormous existing catalogue of plugs for just about anything as well,
