Oil Filter Outside Magnets???

If we were talking about an old school engine (pre-80s or so), a magnet might do some good - plenty of ferrous metals floating around. There's not much Iron in

If we were talking about an old school engine (pre-80s or so), a magnet might do some good - plenty of ferrous metals floating around. There's not much Iron in an engine nowadays. Plus, as pointed out above, it has to be a powerful magnet to penetrate the steel filter housing. I'd use a magnetic drain plug (if I were going to use a magnet).
