I'm about 1/2 way through my break in and decided to install a filter magnet. Like AK I had this idea when I got the car but I was having trouble finding something that looked like a good product. Thanks for pointing the way AK! I got the HP250 FilterMag:

I'll be installing this drain bolt by Peak Performance one the first change:
Quote:
Peak Performance Oil drain bolt consists of a super neodymium magnet, aluminum crush washer, and a high quality zinc coated steel plug.
Neodymium magnets are made with the world's most powerful permanent magnetic material. Rare Earth magnets have a high resistance to demagnetization, unlike most other types of magnets. They will not lose their magnetization if rubbed against other materials or dropped. The Neodymium magnets are 10X stronger than most ceramic magnets, so the size of the magnet can be decreased and maintain great magnetism. The only draw back of neodymium magnets are their high costs, we have been able to combat that by buying these magnets in large quantities.
Keep the metal away from the other moving parts in the engine. Those small metal pieces can cause great a lot of damage in high horsepower vehicles. This magnetic oil drain plug is a excellent investment at $9.

Thanks for the great write up!
AK just curious do you plan to cut open the filter and see if any crap is stuck to it? I have an air compressor and I'm tempted to go get a cheap pneumatic cutting wheel to cut mine open and see if I got anything after break in lol.
