I'm curious about these oil filter magnets. Has anybody actually used one? It
would seem a relatively simple process to test if they work. Put it on, drive
around for a couple thousand miles, cut the filter apart and look for metal
filings under the magnet.
The neodymium magnets used in hard drives go beyond real strong and into the
realm of dangerous IMHO. (Ask me how I know <lol>. Playing with a stack of
them + moments inattention = big ol blood blister. ouch! Definitely not a
kids toy.) If you've never experienced neodymium magnets they are quite
impressive.

Re: Oil Magnet/When to change - New Jeep
Dean, we have been taking old hard drives apart at my work for quite some
time and you are correct. Those little buggers will definately snap down on
your finger with no remorse. I had one on my oil filter for some time but
never took the time to cut the filter open to see the results. Guess I
should try it again.

Re: Oil Magnet/When to change - New Jeep
If there are visible metal filings floating around, they will end up in
the filter anyway, so I'm not sure how conclusive that would be. The
mag. drain plug might be a better option.
