Anyone running aFilterMAG and if so where did ya get it at?

An SAE report states:
"The smallest particles most popular filters captured with high efficiency are sized 25 to 40-micron, depending on the filter brand...[however] controlling the abrasive contaminants in the range of 2 to 22-micron in the lube oil is necessary for controlling engine wear."
These tests also confirmed that removal of particles down to 2-micron in size virtually stops the abrasion wear cycle.
In order for FILTERMAG to remove minute steel particles from the oil system, its magnets must have enough energy to hold incredibly fine particles against the velocity of the oil flow. FILTERMAG's patented design employs a focused magnetic force field, that amplifies its incredibly powerful Neodymium magnets, to generate the immense force needed to forcibly remove tiny particles below 20-micron from the oil flow; and retain increasingly smaller particles -- as small as 2-microns -- against the pressure of oil flow velocity.
FILTERMAG's patented magnetic flux amplifier technology redirects the magnetic energy normally present on the far side of the magnet towards the inside of the filter canister. The flux amplifier has to be of a precise thickness to maximise the magnetic field. The circumference is adjusted to allow for manufacturing variances to result in a precise fit & alignment of the series of magnets to the filter canister. This focuses the maximum amount of magnetic energy within the oil flow. The successful and proven result is a masterpiece of automotive engineering.
In real life, FILTERMAG works by simply placing it onto the outside of the filter housing where the magnetic force automatically snaps it into place. The ultra strong magnetic force starts to work, forcibly trapping unwanted particles "locked" against the inside walls of your traditional filter.


Seen ONE on eBay. [:@]

This topic comes up now and again... They work, but are not miracle products. Its not like they'll trap a lost transformer alien in your filter and clog it within 3 seconds. But yes, theyll help the smallest metallic particles cling.

Best place is ebay or summitracing

 

I'm running run one these. I've had it in for about 3K miles. I have seen a filter that was cut away at the shop I use and the amount of metalic particulate that is stuck to the inside of the filter is amazing. That stuff can't be good for your motor. I look at it like this..Even if it does nothing it makes me feel better. Although I think it will help in the long run.

I got it at a local shop here on Long Island that became a dealer. You definitely don't need the racing one for your street car. This thing holds on TIGHT....

This pic is from a Jeep GrandCherooke that it ran on for 2000miles..Lots of stuff...

 

Are you sure the process of cutting the filter apart didnt generate
some of the particulate matter?

For $33 on eBay, I might get one if I can determine how
round our filters are and if I can find one to fit.

 

I've seen engine builders running them on the filter with the engine dyno. Of course that's a freshly built engine with larger particles. Not sure if it would help that much on a broken in motor...

 

Honestly if there really is that much metal flow around in my engine, then i would think something is wrong....especially once broken all the way in
