I also use a magnet, but mine is the drain plug type. Each oil change it has film or 'hairs' on it.

RE: the filter; I have read test reports of many filters during cold start-up or under heavy loads 'pop' the internal relief. To me, all this does is allow some of the stuff to be recirculated. An oil filter mag or drain plug mag just allows for some added protection.

I have almost 400K on my ole T- truck on the original engine and clutch. Hopefully the Civic will out last a Toy. Further, im my opinion, lost factors depend on how one cares for the vehicle as well as drives it.
