There may be 100 or more Toyotas in your local big city junkyard. Would a magnetic oil pan drain plug have saved any of them from that fate? Nope. All those wrecking yard cars got there due to neglected or delayed or improperly performed routine preventive maintenance , abusive driving or traffic accidents.

Will it work? Sure, and it is better then nothing…….but a better oil filter would do more good. Look at the beta ratios or efficiency vs. capacity. Even better would be a synthetic since a better oil will have less wear numbers (from ZDDP), moly, Calcium etc etc. Less wear means less material for filter to pick up.

So to close it will work but there are better ways to use a magnet.

1) Cut your used oil filters in half & see what it's picking up.

2) Drop the pan & see what's going on & make yourself feel good for buying a car that should never have pump, or bearing problems.
