FilterMAG™ Technology
Lubrication Experts Prove That 70% Of Your Engine Wear Can Be Eliminated* With A Two-Second Snap-On Procedure
Oil filters don't stop the metal contaminates that cause engine wear, and that's a fact. Ask your mechanic! If you're serious about better performance, longer engine life and protecting your engine's vital components, don't drive another mile without FilterMAG™! Snap one on today.
* Installs in seconds and requires no tools.
* Starts cleaning your engine oil immediately.
* Incorporates Neodymium and other proprietary elements to produce a magnetic force 500 times greater than other magnetic devices.
Two FilterMag Models to suit your boating needs!
MODEL SS365 - $49.95
The SS Series of FilterMAG is geared towards the oil filtration needs of light duty automotive, light truck and marine applications. Filter size range: 3.50"-3.90" (Mercury Marine & GM 350,454 & 502)
MODEL RA365 - $119.95 (RA=Racing)
FilterMAG has just released its magnetic oil filtration system available for high performance engines; such as the Ford Powerstroke, Chevy Duramax, High Performance Off-Road, and Street Cars. The reusable Filter magnet system snaps to the outside of any disposable oil filter canister. It is designed to remove steel particles as small as two microns from circulating back into the engines oil, causing unnecessary wear, without restricting oil flow. We recommend our RA Series for the high performance industry. Filter size range: 3.50"-3.90" (Mercury Marine & GM 350,454 & 502)

The Following Is A Summary Of The Society Of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Paper Number 881825 Entitled
"Correlating Lube Oil Filtration Efficiencies With Engine Wear"
Written by David R. Staley of General Motors Corp.
AC Spark Plug and Detroit Diesel Corp. performed a joint study of the relationship between the level of engine oil filtration and Engine wear rates, and found finer filtration reduced the rate of Engine wear.
Diesel and Gasoline Engine wear rates were established by building a Diesel and Gasoline Engine with fully inspected wear components and inspecting them after the test. In both Engines, the upper and lower main bearings, oil rings and compression rings were inspected. In the Diesel Engine, the cam lobe profile and cylinders were also inspected, while the piston pin bushings, piston pins and cylinder liners of the Gasoline engine were inspected.
The total test duration was eight hours. To accelerate wear, 50 grams of AC Fine Test Dust was added, in slurry form, to the crank case every hour.
Diesel Engine wear tests were performed using filters with high efficiency ratings for particle sizes: 40 Microns, 8.5 Microns and 7 Microns.
Gasoline Engines wear tests were performed using filters with high efficiency ratings for particle sizes of the following sizes: 40 Microns, 30 Microns and 15 Microns.
ANALYSIS
The researchers found clearances in the Diesel and Gasoline Engines varied between 2 and 22 Microns during engine operations. That means particles in the 2 to 22 Micron size range are most likely to damage Engine parts. Particles smaller than 2 Microns will slip through the clearances without damaging bearing surfaces.
CONCLUSIONS
The researchers drew the following conclusions:
Abrasive Engine wear can be substantially reduced with an increase in single pass efficiency. Compared to a 40-Micron filter, Gasoline Engine wear was reduced by 50 percent with 30-Micron filtration. Likewise, wear was reduced by 70 percent with 15-Micron filtration. Controlling the abrasive contaminants in the range of 2 to 22 Microns in the lube oil is necessary for controlling Engine wear.
"The Micron rating of a filter as established in a single pass efficiency type test, does an excellent job indicating the filter's ability to remove abrasive particles in the Engine lube oil system."
The smallest particles most popular "full Flow" filters capture with high efficiency are sized 25 to 40 Microns, depending on the filter brand. |

| and just think i been doing that with old speaker magnets that i was going to throw out for the last 30 years. now someone charging 119.00 for geeeeezzzzzzzzzz guess I missed that boat on this one |

hey frank812 - please post pics of your old speaker magnets stuck to your oil filters - we're always looking for a good laugh around here...and pictures are great!!!
thanks

You need to read the SAE report more carefully. They dont anywhere in this report conclude a magnet reduces engine wear. The conclude a smaller micron filter does! A magnet will only trap Ferrious Matter, not non ferrious. Get a Good Filter Folks...

good point - what would be a good example of non-ferrous material floating around in your oil? |

Jeff, babbitt material is non-ferrous, it makes up the majority of foreign material found in engine oil. |

ok - what is babbitt material?
is that like Bobbitt material? Bobbitt material is stuff than gets cut off and thrown by the side of the road.. |

| Babbitt is the material on the bearing surface of rod and main bearings. It is generally made up of lead and copper. |

I understand - thank you, very informative. |

Happy to be of service!
By the way, I do use magnets to trap the normal iron debris in oil. That is a greater problem in differentials and transmissions but there is a small component of normal iron in engine oil. Magnets will attract and trap them if positioned correctly. |
