Magnetic Oil Drain Plug? I will be doing my first oil change on the V soon, and was wondering if it has a magnetic oil plug. The Corvette engines don't and I was wondering if Cadillac had done something different. 
If not, I need to get one before the drain. Thanks for your help.

Due to the frailty of the V's differential, I would recommend also replacing the differential lube and additive.

Thanks! Yes, I know it holds 6 1/2 qts., as I am an old Vette guy. So far the car has been great and I am looking forward to giving it a little TLC. 
The Diff. will get its share too. I have used Amsoil gear lube in the past, but might try Mobil 1 and some LS additive.
