Like
a silent, vigilant sentry, MagDog is a powerful machined aluminum
billet magnetic filtration device that fits between your engine
and spin-on oil filter, constantly guarding against ferromagnetic
debris and the damage that it can cause.

Why
is this Important?
Your typical factory/aftermarket oil filter
will trap debris about 25 microns or larger. Yet many independent
studies have found engine damage resulting from ferrous particles
as small as 2 to 5 microns which act much like miniature bullets
as they careen through the engine, striking softer metals and
ultimately lodging themselves between sliding and rotating parts.
By capturing and holding these dangerous particles,
MagDog provides the protection necessary for a cleaner running and more efficient engine,
the key to longer engine life.
How
does MagDog work?
As your engine runs, a small, constant stream
of oil is directed into a chamber, filled with powerful neodymium magnets.
The oil tumbles across the magnets,
where debris is captured and held until the magnets are cleaned,
about every ten oil changes.
Although only a small stream goes into the chamber at any time,
the entire volume of oil is exposed to MagDog many times between
each tank of gas.
MagDog is located in front of the main filter, trapping debris
in a quiet zone where it is not subject to washout, should the
oil be subject to a surge, either through bypass valve operation,
cold starts, or sudden hydraulic transients.
Easy
Installation
Installation takes about a minute; and the
filter can easily be removed and opened during any oil filter
change for a quick, but revealing visual inspection.
Independent
Testing
MagDog has been independently tested by the
SouthWest Research Institute (SwRI), one of the top independent
automotive laboratories in the world, where magnetic particles
from 2 to 40 microns were captured and held at a rate of about
98 percent. The test was designed to simulate catastrophic engine
failure many times over.
Low
Maintenance
MagDog is the perfect complement to your current
oil filter and is sized to fit your engine.
MagDog’s open channel architecture contains no moving parts.
MagDog's specially designed caps provide a significant surface area of
magnetic attraction that will not clog.
MagDog is not subject to surge when bypass valve opens is quick
and easy to install, requires minimal maintenance (wipe magnets
after inspection); and there is no need to remove and reapply
the product when changing the main oil filter.
Beyond
Cars: Custom Applications
Quotes are available for custom jobs, such
as racing or engine rebuilding. MagDog can also protect marine,
RV, construction, or certain stationary machinery.

Easy Installation |
Step 1. Confirm nipple is proper size
by screwing into new oil filter. If it is not a proper fit,
call us for a replacement. |
|
Step 2. Remove old oil filter to expose
stud |
|
Step 3. Place MagDog and nipple on stud.
Screw nipple to hold MagDog in place (should go at least
3 turns) |
|
Step 4. Tighten nipple snuggly, do not
over torque (use hex key or socket) |
|
Step 5. Spin on new oil filter and tighten
per OEM instructions |
|
Step 6. Run engine and check
carefully for any leaks.
Properly dispose of used oil filter |
