I've never heard of a oil filter magnet - sounds like a smart idea. Where do you put the magnet, on the end of the filter? How big is the magnet? Thanks!

The one I got actually wraps around about half of the filter. It's pretty good sized. It was also expensive. 42 bucks! However, I think its worth it. I've checked my oil multiple times and each time, I cant find one trace of any metal grit. Absolutely none. You can buy them offline. There are many different kinds too.

what exactly is the benefit of the magnet??

When you put the magnet on the oil filter, it will help to hold the metal particles in the filter that would normally recirculate back into the motor. The filter is designed to catch most metal particles, however, it won't catch them all. Thats where the magnet comes in.

BTW, the magnet is pretty strong too.

Where did you get the magnet at?

I got mine at a local performance shop. Its called "The bear trap". I believe they have a web page for these things but I'm not sure on the name.

wow... I get around 195-215 miles per tank... I dont have any mods, but I do have a nasty V8 with a stick! I dont drive like a grandma, i like to play every now and then... But my mpg should be a lil higher....

 

[Freshpl]

You need the tornado it would add like 10 mpg.

 

[TacBear]

How bout 356 miles on 15.2 gal?
Only mods are CAI, Cobra grille emblem, and locking lug nuts.
I think the snake grill emblem increases gas mileage because it has less wind resistance than the original pony emblem.

I love the sarcasm this thread has gotten. Seems I'm good at attracting it.

And to think I thought the fast pony kept the motor running better.
