ABSTRACT:
An elongate flexible magnetic member collects metallic debris from lubrication fluids, such as oil, in lubrication systems associated with motors. In one embodiment, the member is attached at one end to a swivel, which is in turn attached to a drain plug. The drain plug is threaded into and sealed to an oil pan drain hole. The elongate flexible magnetic member has a magnetic surface that positions the member in the lubrication system and attracts metallic particles. In a second embodiment, the magnetic member is held in a loop by a flexible retainer. The retainer is connected at one end to the swivel. In a third embodiment the member may be attached to the oil intake portion of the oil pump. In a further embodiment a method of evaluating engine part misalignment is provided.
