'03 CR-V Oil filter...new one looks smaller

Wrong.

Try a magnetic drain plug.

They *work*.

The $20 you spend to change the oil every 3K (especially in city driving)
is VERY CHEAP insurance on your car.

"We should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would
instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab
world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-
day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless
hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning
them to fight in what would be an unwinable urban guerilla
war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever
greater instability."
-George H. W. Bush in his 1998 book "A World Transformed"

"There should be limits to freedom."--George W. Bush

"I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation
building."--George W. Bush, 10/11/2000

They do work most effectively AFTER you stop the engine.

How did you discover that?

here's an experiment for ya. Take a magnetic drain plug (or any magnet
for that matter), heat it a bit under a flame, and try to pick up some
iron shavings. Youll find out quickly it's very useless.

You'll find out, you magnetic drain plug *doesn't work*.

Oh.
So what was all that fine pastey material stuck to the magnet when I pulled
the plug?

The race car I crew on had a valve spring break last year. Valve punched
through the piston, and metal very quickly spread through the engine, all
eight pistons were scrap, some cylinder sleeves needed to be re-honed. In
any case, upon removing the magnetic drain plug, it was covered in little
bits of metal.

i don't mean to be a troll, but do you think that the magnetic drain plug
really makes a significant difference in preventing engine wear?

I think engine manufacturers design and build engines with certain
tolerances for small particulates flowing around. removing a small sample
of particles at the end of magnetic stick is think hardly any difference
if you didnt use it at all.

There's no substitute for frequent oil changes.

It's not an either/or choice. The addition of the magnetic drain plug
certainly doesn't mean you shouldn't change your oil. FWIW, my old
Porsche 911 had a magnetic drain plug which was always gooey when I
changed the oil.

You also think passing a flame over a magnet is some kind of science.

So who cares what you think...you don't believe they work, remember?
