That set comes with one for the gear oil. Its the small bolt in the picture.

Do you know what the other bolt is for?  I see the oil plug and the gear oil plug, but I'm not sure what the other bolt would be for.

Looks like a good deal.

The bolts are like you say the gear oil and engine oil. I guess the magnet goes inside of the big cap thats pictured. The big cap with the hex head on it is what hold your oil filter screen in the engine. There is actually a drain plug and a filter plug and a gear oil plug.

Hmm, well I guess I learned something today.  On my last (and only) two oil changes I just used the "big cap with the hex head" to change my oil.  I didn't even know there was another drain plug for the oil.

In that case, I would expect the two bolts to be magnetic...but then I don't know why they would include the big cap in the set.
