Default oil filter magnet?

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/5...8d00be6ba5.htm

What does everyone think about that?

My first thought was that if you have that much damn metal in your oil you have bigger problems than the life of your oil

there will always be friction in an engine. i would rather have a little metal in the filter, than in my engine.

I have a Filter-Mag on mine. It keeps all of the metal in the filter.

well i dont think the magnetic drain plug was intended to get metal out of the oil as much as it was to show whoever changes the oil if he/she is getting metal in the oil

ie a major warning
