this product seems like it will work but what about if there is alot of metal shavings in the engine and the magnet atracts metal shavings and clogs the filter. and what does your life time warrenty cover? i know im a bad speller sorry

[Innatetech]

If there is that much metal more than likely the engine is toast. Many good filters have a bypass incase of a plug. Warrenty covers the magnets.

I recommend that if your going to check your oil filter, don't saw it open, use a punch and some shears because you are only going to make more metal dust and contaminate your findings

[Innatetech]

FilterMag even makes a cool lid cutter for filters that used a rotary cutter so theres no shavings or filings to do that same. Kind of like a plumbers copper tubing cutter but big!!!

[Innatetech]

It's really not about that the oil filter will clog it what the oil filter can't catch that continues to circulate and wear at your engines crictical parts.

[gadichon]

Isn't the filter supposed to trap all the crap that the filtermag catches?

If you regularly change oil and filter, then there's no risk your filter would clogg, why would you need a filtermag then??

[Innatetech]

Just the opposite of what you're thinking. The filter can only filter down so far or it would block the oil. This amazingly strong magnet traps what the oil filter simply can't. Once you try one and see what it does you'll be amazed! Makes my oil stay cleaner much longer. Well worth the minor cost is you're planning on keeping your ride.

@bikeordie666 If you have excessive metal in your engine your oil filter is the least of your problems, this is designed to trap particles (that accumulates normally with a good engine) smaller than the filter can hold, average particle size on a good filter is ~ 25microns, damaging engine particles are between 2-22microns = Filter doesn't filter the MOST damaging particles, it can't because it wouldn't have the oil flow to maintain proper lubrication. The magnet does not create metal/shaving

@Innatetech Biggest problem with this product is most cars do not have steel anymore all aluminum last car did not even have sleeves in the cylinders .

Anything less than 30 microns should not harm your engine. What about pressure relief valve operation? Hopefully the magnet does not interfere with the valve. just a few thoughts.

@bikeordie666 if there is that much metal in your engine it is shot anyways

@Innatetech I know about cars, and as long as you use a good quality oil and change your oil as per manufacturer reccomendations, you won't have a problem...

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding my engine(timing belt slipped and I wasn't sure if the valves where bent or not) and have been debating on getting an oil filter magnet, but I have yet to see any proof that they actually work and I dont feel like buying something unless I know it works
