Fern's idea sounds like a good one, but there is room for a fFiltermag on the filter. I reached around from the top and placed the Filtermag on the underside of the filter. It sticks so well that it's hard to move around. As the directions say, you have to slide it off rather than lift it off the metal!

The M1-209 is the oversized filter for the same application, just check the two at the counter before you buy
The K&N filters have the same part number (almost) the Toyota application K&N is HP-1002 but as Lexmex can confirm and so does K&N website the HP-2009 is the same specs but larger media surface, for better filtering.... just don't forget to add more oil to compensate for the larger filter.

Mine is black with silver-colored magnets. # SS300 fits the RX300 filter. Salim, isn't the metal of the filter magnetized when the magnet sits on it? It should attract iron/steel particles to the inside surface of the filter shell, as I recall from physics class. Of course, that's been awhile . . .

I am almost sure it has been a bit more while for me. Don't want to rob the joy but the magnetic field wants to close loop from the N to S pole of the magnet, The filed loves to travel through metal (that can be magnetized). So a majority of flux lines will travel along the shell to make their way through air to the other pole. If you use a horse-shoe magnet (both poles facing the same side) the metal will shunt the field 98% or more. For a flat magnet some flux will pass to grab metal particles in the filter. In any case they would have been trapped by the filter. Magnetic drain plug would be better option.

Reach from above. I positioned it on the lower side of the filter and slid it toward the engine (away from the end of the filter). This way, an oil filter wrench can slip over the end of the filter without disturbing the magnet. You can remove the magnet after the filter is off. To remove the magnet, you have to slide it off the end rather than lifting it off because the magnet is so strong.
