The Bear Trap

[Tom B]

On the Favorite Sites site, Dominic posted a link to the Engine Oil Bible. In this site, the author talks about The Bear Trap, which is a magnetic wrap of sorts that wraps around an oil filter to pick up "metal contaminants" missed by the filter. Do these things really work?

I've heard that the oil passes to fast, and that there's only a small portion of oil that's close enough to the magnet outside the filter to catch the iron particles.
