Any of you have one? If so, ever see anything stuck to it at oil change time?
Either way I think it's a good thing to have which is cheap insurance just in case anything may be going wrong internally. How else would we know? Ordering mine tomorrow.

 

I've seen shows on Spike use them. They seem to work REALLY well. I personally would recommend it.

 

Thats good that nothing's on it but why only twice a year on oil changes?
I need to change mine like every 3 months which is usually under 3000 miles and the **** is black and in need for change. You running amsoil?

 

I change mine maybe 3 times a year.

 

Yeah same here 3-4 tops.

 

mines about 80-100 a week... and 2 vacations a year usually ~900 each...

 

My fiance's sonoma had a magnet on hers and it rarely had stuff on it, but it would clean it off when i changed the oil. Wow, I cannot believe you guys drive so little. Up until a month ago I changed my oil every month for about a year. I was driving that much to school and work, lol.

 

my buddys got one on his dakota and we were talking about it last week, i was thinking about getting one, i havent change my oil yet since i bought the truck, but is over due. i drive 80+ miles a day so i change mine alot

 

My brothers f-250 has one in the transmission. You wouldn't believe how much stuff it caught when he lunched a few synchros

 

Put a magnet on the outside of your oil filter. Then any metal shavings go when you change the filter. Just don't forget to put your magnet on your new filter.

 

i now have a use for these 2 high powered magnets i have

 

i say go for it. cheap insurance even if your motor broken all the way in

 

Thats a great idea. I'm gonna do that. You can even get a magnetic oil filter. I've seen them for $12-$25 but I think that price is too steep for something that will go into the garbage.

 

Run synthetic and a good oil filter and change it every 7-10,000.
