Dear Robert:
Unless there is an area in the filter where the filtrate is out of the
flow of the oil passing through the filter, there is always a risk that the
small metal particles will be drawn back in to the engine. In the case of
an oil plug, those usually are recessed so that any particles which are
grabbed by the magnet will not have a lot of hydraulic pressure applied to
them so they are more likely to stay put.
If a filter was designed with a magnet in mind, it certainly could be
more efficient. I have cleaned one of the magnetic drain plugs, and it is
quite surprising how much and how large the metal filings are in an engine.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
