Is plug sold at most part store chains? Do you have to order it? From where?

Ah yeah ... Americans are crazily happy on refreshing oil ;-) We europeans changes our oil every year or 20.000 KM

A magnetic plug is a good idea even with once a year oil changes as it keeps metallic particles trapped at the plug rather than circulating.
It also gives us a visible indicator of how things are going without cutting filters open.
Will weld for beer.

American-spec'd oils are less stout than European oils, hence shorter OCIs.
I also agree with what IchabodCrane said.
Just in case anyone is still looking I just used today for my first Oil change a Dorman Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Part Number: 65216. Price was $3.99 as an add on item with Amazon, fit perfectly, and let the engine run for about 10 minutes, no leaks. The only thing I noticed with this drain bolt, is it comes with a plastic washer, so on my next change I will change this out with a metal one.
