Force Field Oil Filter Magnet

I just thought this Forcefield magnet has alot of contact with all the oil that passes thru it where the Filtermag and the magnet I have only covers a small protion of the filter.

I think the opposite of StevieC: I think the magnets are good at catching the particles too small for the filter to catch but still cause wear to the motor.

**I think this is extra insurance especially when your filter might go into bypass mode.
Oh no... It's good for smaller particles too, but I like that it keeps bigger ones from clogging up the filter on my longer OCI's But definitely it's great for smaller ones that would normally pass through the filter! Sorry if I wasn't clear in my last post.

Why not just purchase a standard rare earth magnet and put it on the filter....they are only a few dollars each?
What do you gain by purchasing a "name brand" magnet?

I dd that, too. Just got them all today, the FilterDot and the regular neodymiums.

I have a plastic canister for my oil filter housing (Volvo V70 XC), so I'm going to have to place one magnet inside the canister and one on the outside to hold it in place.

I'll probably install the FilterDot on my mother's minivan.

As a computer enthusiast, just tear open a dead hard drive and use those magnets.

Wouldn't there be an increase in flow restriction using the ForceField magnet as the oil must be redirected to flow over the circular magnet? And to ZZMan's photo - I don't see anything. I believe in and use FilterMags RA 360 (600lbs pulling force) on the outside of filter's can.

Shamus, it is anything like the half a dozen small holes in the top of the filter? The relatively small threaded stud for the filter to spin on? Most brief passage alterations don't effect flow much. It just speeds up a bit. Flows transition a few times going in and out of a filter. It's mainly intermediate velocity changes. The mean velocity is usually unchanged.

I'm sold because of that video, love that close up =)

Does she come with the magnet?

 

[Hounds]

Is this what they mean by a "babe magnet"?

Ive always been afraid of these magnets affecting anti-drainback valves, thoughts?

.If it cost more it is better.

Me, too. Here's what I've ordered.

FilterDot


I just bought 3 of these for my Accord, Dakota R/T and Mazda3. They are very strong, easy to use and should help.............Good find, thanks!

 

[Gary Allan]

Well, do you think you could attract the end spacer closer to the dome end if you put a powerful enough magnet on the dome?

Cool. I got mine on Wednesday. It seems like it's very well made. Two large neos placed into a steel cup with an epoxy holding it all together. Very cool design.

For lack of quotes - just look at the top of any post, it will show who was being replied to

It makes more sense if you had caught this part.

I bought a Filter Mag
Filter Mag results here ] The Filter Mag - I bought this today

After getting a high reading of iron in my oil (see oil test), I thought I would try - The Filter Mag.

( CLICK on the filter mag picture this the above web page for results of test)

I own a Filter Mag as well and they are well worth the price I paid for it.

Ok, well I read on here that some guys use the magnets from old computer hard disk drives. SO...I broke open 3 old SCSI hard drives from my server and indeed there are 2 moon shaped flat magnets in each one that are very powerful but are glued onto metal backing plates that resemble the shape of a disc brake pad.

So how do you use these magnets on an oil filter? Is there some magic way to get them off the metal backing plates without cracking them into a dozen pieces?

 

[chevrofreak]

I just leave the backing plates on and slap them onto the dome end of my filter.
