<VV> super magnets attached to the oil filter

[Mark Durham]

Chris; Filtering properties are dependent on the size of the openings
thru the filter media. Most good filters take down to 15 microns or
so, so if you want to get the smaller particles, then you need a
bypass filter that takes down to 1 micron or less, or use a magnet to
catch those smaller metal particles. Mark Durham
