Toyota: In addition to change oil filter

Wow. A great big magnet. And for ONLY $22!

I didn't know carbon, acids, fuel and water were magnetic. Besides, you're
sticking it on TOP of the filter where oil doesn't usually circulate unless
the bypass valve opens, in which case you've left the damn oil in too long
anyway and the filter's clogged!

Now, I *have* seen drain bolts with magnets in certain differentials. But
that's whole other kettle of fish.

You're kidding, right?

You know, it WOULD go well with the magnets on my water line to soften
it, and the magnets on my back for the pain...then of course, the
magnets on my refrigerator to hold up my shopping list.

I magnetized my dipstick once and it always seemed to be covered with
a dark coating. I'd just wipe it off and stick it back in to collect
it's next coating of muck.....all for FREE!!!!!!!!!

Heyyy, fuzzy memories of grade school science dribble back into my cranium:

Get ANY magnet you have laying around (go check your fridge) and run it up
and down your dipstick (no, not THAT one...) and voila!

Those magnets are freaking unreal! :-)

My brother hung some pornography on his fridge in jest to shock his wife...
but made the fatal error of using a hard disk magnet - it took levering the
beggar with a large screwdriver to pry the naked lesbians from the fridge
door... crazy man.

Thank you for your opinoins.. some answers.

Iron (magnetic) and steel alloy is still using in many engine parts.
Even aluminum blocks use iron cylinder sleeves.

The wear of these cylinder liner, valve and gear train, oil pump etc...
can cause excessive oil consumption, abnormal engine noise,
performance problems, oil pressure, abnormal operating temperatures,
stuck/broken piston rings etc...

Let's see one of the used oil analysis;
-----------------------------------------
2001 Camry, V-6 engine ....
80% city/20% highway driving
Miles on engine, 26000
miles on oil, 7200
No makeup oil added
OEM paper air filter
SDF-57 oil filter

Wear Metals

Fe, 21 ppm
Cr, 0 ppm
Pb, 4 ppm
Cu, 8 ppm
Sn, 1 ppm
Al, 9 ppm
Ni/Ag/Mn, 0 ppm
------------------------------------------
Fe(iron) is magnetic metal and the most wear in this case.
Unfortunatly, Iron can cause more wear of non-magnetic metal
such as Cu(Copper) and Al(Aluminuim),
since iron and steel is harder than them and circulating in the engine
parts.

Regular magnets from computer hard drive or toy
don't have enough strength,
also, they lose a great deal of magnetic strength
with high temperature from engine block and oil.

Try to use the oil filter magnet www.turbo-mag.ca
after thousands miles driving, cut and open your oil filter,
then you'll see what is in it for sure.
Simply, It works!

BE.
