Last time I changed my oil I stuck a small magnet onto the sump plate. I changed the oil today and discovered quite a lot of fine ferrous matter covering the magnet and surrounding plate. I'm glad it got stuck to the magnet and ceased to circulate, but is this something I should worry about? I'm hoping there will be less next time- maybe this was all accumulating for 30 yrs and now I've caught it? ;-) Always look on the bright side! Perhaps there should have been a magnet there all along. I remember my 2CV always had an amount of fur on its magnet in the drain plug. If this is normal, then I guess fitting a magnet is a good idea- easier than fitting a filter!
