Yep. Some of the ones I have hurt if you try that.

Yep. I put one under the oil filter and one sits on the oil pan just under
the drain bolt. The reason for under the oil filter is that is where any particles
not caught in the material will settle.

You will see a very fine buildup due to normal wear.

You should play with the ones from a magnetron for the old long range radars.
Those will crush your fingers.

When a dealer quotes anything less than the manual I suspect they are just
drumming up more business. Particularly since many tests have found 7500
miles to be fine under typical street conditions.
