i also agree i think it was over tightening, cuz i have one and i havent had any problems yet. that happen to my friend with his oem drain plug. so i dont think its the plug itself.
it was the plug, I dont over tighten anything on my GS..lol
Ive been running magnetic drain plugs in my Hondas and my Lexus for years with no problems. I think you should post what brand or source you got your magnetic plug from because there are too many variables here.

you did it wrong, you first torque it down to 180 ft.lbs then back off half a turn
Guys, lets not get outtahand, lol I was just dropping off some information on how the magnetic drain plugs can fail. thats it..no need to debate on what brand, how much torque, etc. this was just an FYI on what could happen to you.
