I gotta tell you guys this............... I sincerely believe that the giant magnet I use on Type IV Air cooled Engines during break-in and continue to use after the break-in period remove a considerable amount of abrasive iron, steel particles from the oil before it abrades away bearing surfaces. I just hangs onto the strainer plate and has no fasteners. I always get magnetic material when I change the oil and service the strainer. (3,000 mi) Since I ran my van for 8 years and only ran the magnet for two years I know for a fact that the magnet does collect material between every oil change / strainer service. Prior to using the magnet I got sludge from my strainer, with the magnetic I got both sludge and iron/steel material. At just over 20,000 miles my oil pressure had not dropped by a half PSI. Believe it or not but I believe it and I'll have one on every car from now on.
