<VV> Magnets on oil filters

[Sethracer at aol.com]

I have seen people epoxy a magnet onto the outside. There is also a  
product: Filtermag available to apply to your filter. It snaps on, then stays in  
place magnetically.
Summit carries it. Here is a link to a video demo:

If you  have the magnet stuck on the filter
and the magnetic field collects a  pretty good pile of crud on the inside,
then if something or somebody moves  the magnet, it is my opinion that a 
slug
of metallic particles will be  released all at once into the oil system.  In
my mind that has to be  more harmfull than the routine passing of  the
particles.
