For $15, why not install one?

Oil filter magnets are FREE! Take them out of hard drives. Find a computer geek and ask them for a magnet or 2. All geeks have hard drive magnets laying around. hehe (at least all the ones I know, including me)
They are very powerful and they just snap right on the your filter. Use as many as you like.

I am interested in this idea. I have a few broken hard drives that I've been collecting over the years...

How many magnets would be enough for this?

I did get it off of Ebay. Why its offset, I dunno. As for the question about what was on it, it was just a lil grey paste, so to speak. No chunks of anything. It was just to show you guys that a hi quality filter still cannot filter all the microns. $10 bucks off ebay...Jus do it...

Ive got 3 magnets on my filter. They are virtually free.

Free as in "got them free outta a hard drive" or

Free as in "hanging free, stuck to the drain plug."

I've never heard of this idea but I have to say I think it's brilliant. Stray metal is death. I'm gonna do this as soon as I figure out how-to-safely or just burn $10 on Ebay.

Yarisworld rocks!
