These were the ones I was looking at in the MidAmerica catalog

I was having one of those moments where I was placing a small order and was paging throught the catalog double checking. Making sure there wasn't anything I couldn't live without.

These pictures show the debris captured inside of the filter housing with magnets from a computer hard drive stuck to the outside. It was from the first or second oil change on my current engine back in 2001.
It may not help anything but it didn't cost anything either.

Also look here http://www.vescor.com/hydraulic_acc43.htm It is more useful at the oil pan than the filter.

Just a tip, I have a drain plug magnet, but also use an old speaker magnet on the filter case itself. These are the round O type magnets used on audio speakers, say 3-4" in diameter. Because they are O shaped, they seat very well on the bottom of any spin-on oil filter, and due to their large size they grip well and stay in place as well as attract alot of particles. Best of all, they are easily transferable from car to car.
So next time you replace one of your faulty car speakers, salvage the magnet and attach to your filter. Cheap insurance.

Durango, they best method I've used is to soak the assembly in some solvent, usually the magnets are adhered to the speaker case, lacquer thinner works well, as does paint stripper, just let it sit for a while and then try to tap it off with a wooden dowel around the perimeter.
Good idea. I have a bunch of old speakers and hard drives that I'll be stripping the magnets out of. Sweet.
