DavidAshton Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Tell him what car you got on checkout and he sends the right one, got my last one from here.On a side note id never use one again, they dont seem to tighten up, they leak and ive seen threads where they have snapped going in and coming out. Happy when I took mine off, never again plus it had feck all on it after a good 6k miles.OEM Toyota plugs for me always now! Quote
Socks Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Didnt think the parts that wear were magnetic? lol Quote
shaneyb Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Just get a good quality one intended for your car. My one has been on for my 18 month of ownership and who knows how long before that and ive never had any problems with it. Quote
Flaminsam Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 lol you would be supprised socks. whe the big end shells went in the almera there was literally chunks of metal stuck to the magnet. so a good idea in my eyes. some high flow oil filters have a magnet inside them to catch the metal before it goes around your engine.

Asad Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Gotta disagree^Had the same one on both my N/As picked up a fair few bits and pieces the first oil change then very little/none after that.....reuse the old toyota washer and not the metal one that comes with them and as with anything aluminium dont overtighten it and it will give you years of service...deffo a good mod for the priceAny toyota one will fit mr2/celica etc Quote
Amjad Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Mine works well too, picks up tiny bits Quote
raffa_mk Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 nice one guys, good to know about your experiances with this. Quote
Liam_D Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Mine works well picking up tiny bits every filter change, They do leak a tiny bit though. Well mine does lol.Mines a Nightworx one from TM Developments. Quote
DavidAshton Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Pic off TGTT that really put me off them.......maybe just a one off but I imagine that snapping in the sump, you would be fooked!!! Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 i think that will only happen when a lot of force is applying and the nut being cold.never had a problem with them, the magnet is supprisingly strong.just get them from repped seller and you'll be fine. Quote
