Best supplemental filtering aid you can get.

Those super fine particles will go round and round through your filter and parts.

If Filtermag is to be believed running one of their units will result in a full ISO code drop or better which is significant improvement.

Pop one on a motorhome or marine engine, or tractor and you'll be amazed what a power plant under a sustained high load (not a regular car) will put out.

You realize that a 10 micron particle, which they readily filter at 95% is almost un-seeable....right?


I realize that A 10 micron particle is almost invisible.

Thousands of them stuck to a magnet are quite visible.

well of course you can see them. My point was why use a magnet for particles that will be filtered anyway. The OEM didn't see the need for a magnet.


Actually plenty of OEM's use magnets and have for years.

The iron particles will not get filtered because they are too small - they will go round and round through your filter and parts and oil pump - till you dump the oil.

If the filter did such a great job why does the fuzz and goop end up on the magnet?

True - but many of the non Fe metals will do less harm. Think gold plugs are as much for surveillance as anything else.
