Strange question here -- There are very strong aftermarket magnets that a person can buy and place on the outside of oil filters, or the outside-bottom of oil pans, to catch and pin down metal particles. Apparently these magnets are the same as those in computer hard drives. Some people have claimed that you can disassemble a dead hard drive, get the magnet, and use it very effectively to trap metal particles in oil filters and pans, manual transmissions, and differentials -- by sticking them to the outside of the component. A free & effective filtration system.

Comments? Anyone done this?
