Chris,
At the risk of starting a discussion that could rival an oil thread...the concept of using magnets to aid entrapment of metal particles in oil is interesting (and tempting) however, one potential concern is that if the magnet is not strong enough to "catch and hold" all particles in its path then it could magnetize metal particles which would then circulate and potentially stick to engine parts and be less likely to be cleared out of harms way by the normal cleaning action of oil circulation. I know products are available but I'm still not convinced they are a good idea (but I'm open to more information on the topic). I do think magnets are useful for dredging used oil to look for metal as a sign of excessive engine wear.
