The link above has some testing of Magnifine and Racor ATF filter results. Both are said to have made substantial difference's to fluid cleanliness.other test exist as well.
Leaking has been a problem with Magnifine. I personally have not had the issue with em leaking and I buy from reliable sources to ensure I get the authentic product.
That said of course a remote mount will filter better. I have both types and am pleased with both. Wix makes a good inline magnetic filter too.they can be had from orielys I also have one of those in use in a third vehicle will be installing one on my moms Windstar soon. Pleased with that one as well.
Yes I have seen the WIX one at Orilyes and it looks very good also.. However I have never seen one cut opn.
I know the magnefine has a powerful magnet that will actually pick up your keys.
anyone have pics of the wix ATF INLINE FILTER???????????
