Oil Filter History
Modern oil filters remove particles by forcing the oil through paper-based media with very small ports. The technology behind this filtering media is a compromise that has remained relatively unchanged since the 1930s. While oil is necessary to remove these damaging particles, it is equally important that it flows back into the engine fast enough to lubricate all the moving parts. A perfect oil filter media would stop all the particles down to 1-micron (about 1/70th the thickness of a human hair). Unfortunately, a filter with ports that small would also restrict the oil from returning to the engine fast enough, resulting in catastrophic equipment failure. Filter media developments over the years have certainly increased the life cycle for oil filtration cartridges, but fluid dynamics require the ports in the media to remain 25-micron or larger.

An SAE report (in .doc) by David R. Staley, General Motors Corp., states:

"The smallest particles most popular filters captured with high efficiency are sized 25 to 40-micron, depending on the filter brand...[however] controlling the abrasive contaminants in the range of 2 to 22-micron in the lube oil is necessary for controlling engine wear."

FilterMAG™ Magnetic Oil Filter System
Patented FilterMAG™ Oil Filter Magnet Technology Removes Steel Particles As Small As 2-Microns from Engine Oil. In order for FilterMAG™ to remove minute steel particles from the oil system, its magnets must have enough energy to hold incredibly fine particles against the velocity of the oil flow. FilterMAG™'s patented design employs a focused magnetic force field, that amplifies its incredibly powerful Neodymium magnets, to generate the immense force needed to forcibly remove tiny particles below 20-micron from the oil flow; and retain increasingly smaller particles -- as small as 2-microns -- against the pressure of oil flow velocity.

FilterMAG™'s patented magnetic flux amplifier technology redirects the magnetic energy normally present on the far side of the magnet towards the inside of the filter canister. The flux amplifier has to be of a precise thickness to maximise the magnetic field. The circumference is adjusted to allow for manufacturing variances to result in a precise fit & alignment of the series of magnets to the filter canister. This focuses the maximum amount of magnetic energy within the oil flow. The successful and proven result is a masterpiece of automotive engineering.

In real life, FilterMAG™ works by simply placing it onto the outside of the filter housing where the magnetic force automatically snaps it into place. The ultra strong magnetic force starts to work — forcibly trapping unwanted particles "locked" against the inside walls of your traditional filter.

Environmental Benefits: FilterMAG helps your oil filter in filtering metallic particulates so that you throw away less oil filters & less oil, removing these detrimental particulates from your car's oil circuit also means that car engine doesn't fail prematurely. It's reusable & transferrable.

Oil Analysis Test
Attached is a series of tests on one report. Predictive Maintenance Services performed the independent tests. The oil samples were taken on a 2002 Chevy with a Diesel Engine that has a Harvard Bypass System.

Test # 88532, 88069, 79299 was WITHOUT a FilterMAG™ placed on the filter. Test #95049 was performed WITH the FilterMAG™ in place on the filter.

While the spectro Fe (iron) stayed essentially the same, if you look at the graphic in the center you will see a huge drop in the particle count (350 on test #88532, only 58 on #95049). The symbol >2 and >5 refer to particle sizes, 2 micron and 5 micron respectively.

The date of each test is in the second column of the upper graphic.

FilterMAG Transmission Magnet (TM360 & TM180)
Designed to magnetically attract and hold the millions of steel particles that are circulating in your transmission oil. These are particles that are too small to be stopped by the internal filter. Snap the high powered transmission magnet onto the bottom (outside & deepest portion) of your steel transmission pan. It will immediately begin cleaning your transmission oil without restricting oil flow. So Simple!, So Effective !!! Fit virtually all vehicles with automatic transmission & steel transmission pan. When you service your transmission, you would simply drain & drop the pan & wipe out the metal particles that have been trapped, you would leave the magnet in place on the outside. If you happen to have an aftermarket aluminum transmission pan, you'll need to use high-tempered epoxy to secure the TM360. If you have a vehicle w/ manual transmission, you canNOT use the TM360, use the following Differential Magnet instead. This magnet 'may' interfere w/ certain transmission servos in particular newer Toyota vehicles, in such case, place the magnet as close to the drain plug as possible so as to minimize interferences. (NOTE: picture shows the front and back of two FilterMAG but you need only one)

FilterMAG Differential Magnet (DM101)
The FilterMAG Differential Magnet (DM101) is designed to magnetically attract and hold the millions of steel particles generated by the gears in the differential. Place the DM101 inside your differential housing away from any moving parts. Naturally, this model is strictly for manual transmission.
