Magnefine filter cut open - 30,000km - 2007 toyota sienna transmisson.

Was pretty suprised by the amount of metal, even a couple decent chunks about 1.5mm large. This was installed shortly after we bought the van when I flushed the fluid with amsoil ss. Full flush(diy fluid exchange) including pan drop and rock catcher.

Van had 285k km at time of flush and filter install. Fluid was pretty dark that was in there, but rest of van was well maintained (single owner).

That filter is doing its job!!! Thanks for the post!

Yep it seems to be worth installing now it is not the leaky old plastic ones.

Nice! How did the pan magnets look?

Yea. I had to replace it with a plastic one though. Metal ones are hard to come by in canada, have a bunch on order from the states right now.

Heard lots of horror stories of the plastic ones exploding.

I don't recall anything noteworthy for the pan magnet. Pan filter is a joke on the other hand. A kitchen sieve would do a better job.

Thanks
Those filters are a must in any auto box today.
Especially with 8-9-10 speed autos......thats A LOT more shifting going on=more particles.

That’s by far the most stuff I’ve ever seen a magnifine filter catch. Usually the magnet is a little fuzzy with metal and the element looks almost new.
It did it’s job 4 sure

Where are we sourcing these new metal Magnefine filters?

Only the 1/2” ones are still plastic for some reason. The rest are metal

Does your tranny have a magnetic drain plug??? I know when draining my Hondas over the years you can see buildup on the drain plus..

Does the drain plug have a magnet on it?
If so how much particulate was on it.

 

[meadows]

How many miles or km was this in use?

It says 30k kms in the title

 

[wpod]

They are not very big filters for the money spent.

 

[Sequoiasoon]

I installed one in my '19 Honda Pilot at 21k miles. I changed it at 50k miles because there was some chunks of stuff in trans fluid when drained. Pilot has had I think 4 drain and fills (about 4 qts each time) since magnefine was installed. I haven't gotten fluid ananlysis back from Black stone yet. I also installed one in my daughters CRV about 3 years ago but that only has 15k miles in that time.

My drain plug in Pilot also had a coating on it. Magnefine also does have bypass in it just in case anyone wondered.

 

[Sam_Julier]

So how many miles does the filter have on it?
