Quest, how would a layperson tell the difference between the room temp mag and the high temp mag? I take it drain plug mags are the high temp types.
Can magnets keep oil cleaner?

i sure would not have known the difference in temp. that would be needed.
cb450sc,
Yes, I use one in my '93 Civic, I usually get a small amount of silver gray slurry on the magnet, mayby a match heads worth. The engine is aluminum, but what about the cam shaft? anything that will keep the oil cleaner, especially fe components, is well worth the effort. Think of it as auxiliary filter.

The only thing that makes me nervous about the whole magnet deal is the possibility of a metal flake breaking loose and causing damage internally. Is this an irrational fear?
FWIW .. I have some rare earth magnets inside the OilGuard ByPass filter on my Duramax Diesel ... they definitely capture ferrous material ...

Bill,
Not going to happen, the neo magnet grabs hold of the metal and won't let go. If you've never experienced one of these incredible strong and compact magnets, just order some from Ebay, you'll become a believer.
