hi,
FYI, during last changed my Corolla A/T oil filter 3 yrs ago, i found 3 small magnets sticking at the metal filter. I do not know it is original from factory or placed by previous owner. These magnets managed to traps lots of tiny chips around its body.

Btw, how about getting a 12" subwoofer magnet and stick it under the oil pan :lol: ? but if doing this way hav to think of how to remove the tiny chips from the oil pan at every oil change...

[FuGZ]

so sticking the magnet below or at it's sides is the same thing?

 

[ezwong2002]

i think no difference gua... i stick it on the top side la.. so next time easier to take it off when i wanna replace the oil filter.

Just a note... becareful where you palce the magnet as it will generate magnetic inteference... It may possibly casue issues with your ECU or other computerized boxes, sensors, etc in your car.

[ezwong2002]
