It seems like the Spin on filter and a Filtermag should be good investment in helping our $15K engines live a long and happy life.

Thanks Jake for the tip on this.

Not having heard I did some research and found this simple example enlightening.

I think I was reading somewhere that the stock filters do not filter 100% due to a bypass of the filter element for some reason.

I already have a magnetic oil drain plug but the filter mag and spin on filter seem like more good ideas for little investment and effort.

Low cost/high return in preventative maintenance should be a no brainer.
