There is other metal that comes out of g/boxes and engs that is not magnetic. can cause just as much damage.

Buy a rare earth magnet and stick that to the side of your oil filter. Same thing works wonders.

Since I started putting rare earth 25 dia x 10 thick magnets on my filter I get SFA on the sump plug magnet. :D
Try it, then cut the spin-on filter up for a look, you will be amazed.. :shock:
The trouble with that Magnom thing is you have to remove & clean the bastard every filter change. :x
With these rare earth magnets you just have to remember to whack 'em onto the new filter.
They just cling on the finger grips near the bottom, no other attachment required.
