Personally I put 2 HD magnets on my oil filter, I don't open them after (although I should) but it gives me piece of mind, AND they're free
Good idea! I've got some rather dangerous HDD Neos that have no other use than to pinch me or adorn metal in my shop. I'll stick them on the oil filter!
Gotta be better than nothing right? I change my own oil so they won't get thrown away.
