Wanted to post a UOA with filter pictures and did a little experiment. I used 4 neodymium magnets rated for a 45 lb pull around the filter to see if it would reduce the iron. It did not, not total, nor per mile. I ran out of 5W-20 oil and with it burning more oil I switched to 5W-30, so its not an apples to apples comparison to the previous oil change, oh well.
OIL Schaeffer Supreme 9000 with 5 quarts added. 2 quarts of make up oil were 5W-20, rest were 5W-30. Previous oil change was all 5W-20

MILES IN USE 11,996 12,034

You can see the circle where the magnet was on the outside. Pleats are wavy but no tears or holes that I could see.
