Just to share information among ZTH's DIY faithfuls...
Did you know dat if u attach a magnet to your oil filter it will benefit your car in the long run?
This is how it works... put a decent strong magnet to the oil filter.. not too strong not too weak... it will eventually attract all small particals of metal to it and it will not be recyled back to the engine.
It will collect magnetic particles and then they get thrown out when you change the oil filter.
Some of the material that is collected by the magnet would have been trapped inside the filter media. You have to wonder how much of the sub 10-20 micron material it is collecting.
cheers!!! I'm on my way to look for a used hard disc magnet!
