My nissan titan has almost 147k miles on it. Thoughts? Can you provide a link to the specific magnets you are talking about?I think they can attract some iron or steel that would pass otherwise pass through a filter, but I think they'd have to be very strong to do this through the steel canister. I wouldn't pay $100 for the item you're looking at, but I would look into some smaller, very strong rare earth magnets and stick them on the sides and the bottom of the canister. This is something I would do when the car is new, but since I've got 40,000 miles on mine now, I wouldn't bother.
If you have any dead computer hard drives laying around they have some super strong magnets inside them. Some guy here have used them.My nissan titan has almost 147k miles on it. Thoughts? Can you provide a link to the specific magnets you are talking about?
I agree; there are a number of strong magnet suppliers out there. Easy enough to do if you have a filter.I've bought some crazy strong rare earth magnets off e-bay and I stick them on the outside of all my oil filters. Can't hurt. I remove them after I've pulled the filter and stick them on the new filters.
I feel like theyd be best in an oil pan close to being behind the drain bolt so it can be washed away but also far enough from the pickup tube so it doesnt try to suck it up.
I also feel that it would have to be a very strong magnet to keep it all on the walls of the can to be really effective.
But i wonder more if they could change the uoa iron count.
This subject ranks right up there with the "5W20 VS 5W30" debate.Hello. Anyone have thoughts/opinions/etc. regarding magnets on engine oil filters?
What kind of huge difference?I will be buying a magnetic oil drain plug for my engine oil. I bet if I also bought FilterMag from filtermag.com I bet that it would really make a huge difference!
