Hi guys
Just wondering what your opinions are on installing a spin on filter base with a filter, compared to a Magnefine inline filter. Obviously the clear difference would be the price and the fact that the Magnefine filter has a magnet inside to catch ferrous material, whereas the spin on filters do not.
I'm wondering how effective putting a magnet on the outside of a spin on filter really would be, compared to the Magnefine which is actually inside.
I'm in Canada so the prices are quite high.
Magnefine ($37.50): https://www.amazon.ca/Magnefine-Mag...=magnefine&qid=1572223816&sr=8-1
Spin on filter base ($39.22): https://www.amazon.ca/Fram-HPK2-Spi...ilter+base&qid=1572223771&sr=8-1
For reference I have a 2008 Rav4 V6 with 200k on it. I just did a fluid drain/filter change on it. The engine bay is pretty tight on these cars so a remote filter installation might be difficult.
Thanks!
