In the absence of better knowlege, I tend to default to what is generaly considered to be a high-quality filter... and that doesn't necessarily mean it IS the best, but with the information I currently have I try to make a more informed decision and that last thing I do is "cheap out". I'd be crazy to think magnets were going to solve anything, when mated with a cheap filter.

I've always known Fram to be a good brand, but know little about the construction and comparison of this brand to others... but know it's not the chaepest and hope that means something.

And I can't possibly agree with you more, as stated, that there is no wasted effort when you're doing all you can to remove as much metal as possible from the oil. The magnets came from a specific concern, and I'll probably do a little more reading to see what's available to me up here in a quality filter... I do not remember the Puro and Mobil on the shelves, as my dealer only offers me the Kawi or Fram brand.

But again, thanks for the "rant", much appreciated!
