MagnaFilters
Hey..I was wondering if anyone uses a MagnaFilter and if so are they worth it?, or is it just a gimmick?
Also do they last forever or does anyone know when they need to be changed out?
Here's what I'm talking about for those that dont know:

Strafe, well, I look at it this way, the magnet in a filter like that is a completely worthless item. If you are getting any metal shavings, then you are having an oil that isn't doing its job and you are going to have a motor that will fail very shortly anyways. So, save your money and invest it in a quality oil and filter.

Thanks for the responses. And yeah..now thinking about it, a good oil with regular changes should eliminate the need for a magnafilter. In my older cars I always used Valvoline "Extended Life".
For my X-Type I'm thinking about going to Castrol Syntec which is what the dealer here uses ($95.00 for an oil change & $40.00 for a tire rotation..yeah in there dreams!).
Thanks for bringing it into perspective.
