Hey my drain plug looks like that too… kinda nasty black ....…
The threads being black is the sealant they use from the factory but the magnetic portion looks fantastic compared to the first few changes. Very little on there which is great to see.
 
Also very important step here , I wish I didn’t wipe away this pan every hour to show you guys . But this is hour # 3 of draining the oil and leaving it to just sit . A lot more oil is being drained as it sits with open plug and oil filter.

In what I’ve noticed it’s best to get the engine hot , zip the plug and let it sit a minimum of 4 hours to get all the oil from the head to drain out. If I didn’t wipe this pan clean every hour like I said , it would be a lot more shown here but as shown It’s still dripping out on the 3rd hour.

The 300v took much longer than my last dump of redline. I was done at two hours. And turning the wheel in 6th stopped spilling more after about 4 turns..
Didn’t know about the gear 6th gear wheel rotation, just did it and more is still coming out . Thanks
