oil filter

<< < (3/3)

gtc:
I guess if it's having any effect then the evidence will be a collection of metal filings inside the filter opposite the magnet.

Has anyone using a magnet cut their replaced filter open to check?

MADLT1:
dont think of it as metal fileings,like when your grinding something in the garage,the metal wear inside the engine turns into a paste,mixed in whith the oil.:24

gtc:
Yeah, like what you find on the magnetic sump plugs.

ettev87:
It all sounds good. BUT!! Engine bearings are white metal? Is this magnetic? I think not? Very happy to stand corrected????

If the oil filter is doing it's job, it will trap the particles [magnetic or otherwise].

I'm sure the oil changes in "cruisers" or "racers" are changed well before the handbook recommendation!
