Question NE1 Sucessfully Used a FilterMag on T/A's????

Has anyone used the FilterMag on the stock filter, in the stock location, on a T/A?

Only reason I'm asking is I was going to pick one of these up since they're on sale at Summit - but don't know if they will work on our car's due to how the magnet surrounds the filter and the fact that our filters are buried inside the oil pan casting.

The filtermag goes on the side of the filter facing out, so no pan wall clearance problems.

Thanx! I just didn't know if it wrapped far enough around the filter for the oil pan to become an obstacle.

Filter magnets are very beneficial to any engine, if you want to read some test results and tech data you can find it at http://gwrauto.com/oil_filter_magnet.htm. Go to the bottom of the page, there is a lot of info there.
