I say bollocks! Metal particals that can pass thru a oil filter dont do any harm. Otherwise oil filters would be finer.
All this product does is steal your money and clog your oil filter so the oil pump cant pump oil and your motor seizes. Quality product
Dont hold back mate, tell us what you really think.
I agree with the basic premise that you make & that if it was important, then filters would be finer, .... & bigger, to allow the proper flow, but it's all a matter of balance. The manufacturer wants it to wear out eventually so that you will buy another one, so as long as the engine still gives a satisfactory service life, then satisfactory filtration is all we get & tiny filters seem to be all the go these days. [not in my garage]
Me, .... on the other hand, I want my engines to live just about forever, so anything I can do to help achieve that goal is a good thing & if you have seen what sticks to a sump plug magnet, you would surely agree that for the few paltry dollars that they cost, they are great value.
Filter magnets? Probably more novelty value than much else, but even if they are only half as good as they say, it's still better than nothing I believe.
Blocked filters? Not if you change the oil & filter at a reasonable interval.
Baaaa
