Modern oil filters remove particles by forcing the oil through some type of media with very small ports.  The general technology design behind this method of filtering 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.

While we would prefer that the oil filter media would stop all of the particles down to 1-micron (about 1/70th the thickness of a human hair) in size, a filter with ports that small would severly restrict the oil from returning to the engine fast enough, resulting in catastrophic equipment failure.

Filter media developments over the years have improved and 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 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."

*Parts per million

In this test, the oil flowed through the stock oil filter arrangement.  The carburetor and timing were adjusted and several full power dyno pulls were performed for approximately 3 hours of engine operation.  After the test session, the oil filter canister was cut open for inspection.  The result was a serious accumulation of steel particles in the magnetic force field of FILTERMAG™.

These tests show clearly that FILTERMAG™ removes steel particles that conventional paper element filters miss.

This was demonstrated in the first test as the particles captured by FILTERMAG™ passed through the paper filter before being caught.  The second test demonstrated that FILTERMAG™ has the magnetic energy required to retain particles against the flow rate of oil encountered in the filter canister and under all normal engine operating conditions.

The picture of a cut open filter with a FILTERMAG™ still attached demonstrates a build up of thousands of metal particles from 2 to 30-micron that passed through the oil filter.

This is a critical feature of FILTERMAG™, since other products do not have the sheer force to retain captured particles against the significant speed and power of the oil flow.

This is the crucial point.  If the magnetic force of the device is not sufficient to retain the particles against the oil flow, then those particles will be reintroduced into the lubrication system when the engine is running.

It's one thing to hear everyone else tell you how wonderful FILTERMAG™ is at catching many of the particles that your oil filter misses and it's quite another to actually see the results of how FILTERMAG™ is actually working on your oil filter on your ride.  So, we have a way for you to see for yourself!  Here it is -

• Send us your oil filter after you remove it from your ride and we will cut it open, take a picture of your actual results and email the picture results to you.

How?  Simple -

1. Remove your used oil filter from your ride.
2. Remove your FILTERMAG™ from your oil filter.
3. Drain as much of the old oil out of your filter as possible.
4. Place your old oil filter inside a sealed plastic bag.
5. Place it in a box, along with your name, email address, year and make of your ride and the total miles that this oil filter was on your ride. 
6. Ship your old oil filter to us at:
• Prevette's, Ltd.,  2041 Grand Avenue,  Suite C,  West Des Moines, IA  50265
7. Or, you can bring it in directly to our store.

That's it!  When we receive it, we will cut it open, take a few pictures of the inside of your used oil filter, and email those pictures to you and properly dispose of your old oil filter.  Now you will have first hand knowledge and results proof of how well FILTERMAG™ is working for you.

Hey How's it going...My name is Jason Willmon and I am running a 415 SBC with a 106mm Turbo on alcohol, making approx 1500 hp. (see pic)

Our HP Series of FILTERMAG™ can be used for the standard as well as the Hi-Performance engines.  Built for the ride owner that wants that extra power of protection!  (Note:  The HP Series line has been discontinued . . .)

Hi-Performance, Large Diesel, Racing, Heavy Duty Auto - For 2.90" to 5.50" diameter standard oil filters.

The RA Series of FILTERMAG™ can be used for both standard and Hi-Performance engines.  This baby is built for the demanding needs of large diesel trucks, racing, and heavy duty applications. The RA Series provides extra power where you need it the most. 

Harley Davidson and Custom Motorcycles - For 2.90" to 3.20" diameter standard oil filters.

The MC Series of FILTERMAG™ is geared toward the motorcycle industry.  It comes with a polished chrome or flat black facing to fit the individual needs of the discriminating bike owner. 

Made for all vehicles with a steel oil pan - The FILTERMAG™ Transmission Magnet (TM360 & TM180) is 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 of your steel transmission pan.  It will immediately begin cleaning your transmission oil without restricting oil flow.  So simple yet so effective! 

The FILTERMAG™ Differential Magnet (DM101) is designed to magnetically attract and hold the many millions of steel particles generated by the gears in the differential.

Simply place the DM101 on the inside of your differential housing away from any moving parts.  The metal particles will be taken out of circulation and held firmly by the DM101 so as not to cause any further accelerated wear!
