Filtemag run on Motorcraft Filter

[ZZman]

2014 Ford Fusion. 2.5 motor with 34,000 miles on car. First magnet run for 5,000 miles oci.

I think the magnet pics could have shown a little better but the filter was small and trying to cut it open with the magnets on made the magnets slide all over.

Replaced with a Fram Ultra.

Looks good, and was that a quick lube filter? Thank You for pics

I have a magnetic drain plug on my Volvo. It always has a grey paste on it at oil change time. They work but would that residue been captured by the filter anyways?

Possibly. But I think the magnets catch particles much smaller in micron size than filters are made to catch.

I’d only run Motorcraft on Ford that is just my thoughts though. I don’t do Fram generally.

Thanks for the C&P. You could have removed the magnets before cutting it open. Would have made it easier for you. The particles would still be on the inside of the can.

Yep
