So I saw these FilterMag wraps that go on your oil filter to attract/trap small metal shavings. Sounds like a great idea, but they want quite a bit for them. And they are not even niobium (spelling?) magnets. So for like $8 or $9 on Amazon, you can get a set of niobium this bar magnets. So I figured I'd put 5 or 6 of those on the bottom, outer circumference of my Z's filter, and put a zip tie around them for insurance. Then, next time I change the oil, I'll cut it up and see if I find a lot of extra metallic gunk by the magnets.

Has anyone already done this??? Thanks.
