I had similar looking results with my filter mag... Magnets are great.

But they would have been caught by the filter anyway, correct?
I know with my Filter-Mag it caught a ton of stuff (Even more than your PIC) within the first 30K KM's on my engine and then it trailed off.
Now with over 300K KM's on my engine I'm barely catching any residue and that might be because the engine is worn-in well or because the magnet is getting a bit weak.
I notice it's easier to take off than before but it still grips the filter quite well so I'm not sure.
Definitely would always use a magnet on my filters from what I saw with my Filter-Mag. It's gotta be helping...

Yeah those Filter Mags are way more powerful than the magnet I have.
Your wear has probably slowed down plus you have caught all those built up metal particles before you were using the magnet.
How long have you used your magnet and how many miles when you started using it on that vehicle?

I have used it from 5,000KM (3K Miles) on the truck and I'm still using it. I now have 320K+ (192K+ Miles) on it now. I have accumulated all this in the last 4.5 years.
Did you experience cam phasing issues and a loss of power when hot with this Fram Tough Guard?

+1 Never used a magnet, but it's a neat gadget.
