Filtermag? Good Investment?
i have this for my other car but what you think for the rx300 ? heres link:
http://filtermag.com/?app=Automobile...15&storedimg=1
you think these really are good to have keeps all debry and metal particles stuck on oil filter to prevent particles recycling back into engine...

Check for clearances [the area is tight for RX]
Next confirm that the magnets do not attract the filter shell. [only then the the magnetic field will penetrate the shell]
Note: the magnet will not hold metals like Copper, aluminum, certain alloys.
It can do no harm, even if does no good. Filter is the real thing in any case.

You do have iron in their, but I suspect if they let loose, the filter guard isnt going to stop the damage. The crankshaft and most of the valve train is steel and iron.

It will be interesting to see photos from the dropped oil pan. Apparently we in RX forum are obsessed with transmission we never talk about the engine. So who has the need, energy and camera?
Salim
If you really want to, just buy high temperature tape and tape some magnets to the lowest point (gravity) on the filter.

There are so many different metals (including alloys) which are used in engine ... and mostly for a reason. Some material have coating on top. The metals typically become sediments in the pan and mostly the things carried by the oil are non-metallic particles. That is where the filter becomes important ... which also grabs the floating metal particles.

try electronic hobby stores.
These days for any thing that is not in common use, you have to buy over the net.
Again this may not gain you much.

I just bought filtermags for 2 cars and a lawn tractor. If I cut the filters apart and see ferric particles attached where the magnet is, I'll figure it was worth the money. As Salimshah says, it can't hurt, anyway!

I have a less expensive alternative.
Do what I do.... use some old magnets from a computer hardrive and attach them to the sides of your existing filter.... when the filter is replaced, just transfer the magnets to the new filter.
