It would seem that even dispersion of the metal would be better for oil flow resulting in more efficient filtration rather than crowding one side of the filter with the accumulated metal.
I guess the question would be does better flow equal better filtration?

Perfectlap; Please excuse me, I had to go look at the picture to understand the question.

I think what you are asking is with the magnet only filtering one side, the media on the

opposite side is loading with the debris? This is true with particles larger than 20

microns (media efficiency), but where the magnet shines is capturing particles in the

1-4 micron range that cause the most engine wear, and simply pass through the media

circulating continuously through the engine. For first pass efficiency dual magnets would

be superior.
