Magnefine Transmission Filter
WARNING: various USA based ‘manufacturers’ are selling Chinese KNOCKOFFs of the Australian MagneFine inline magnetic filter. These Chinese filters can fail (leak or the cap breaks off), and possibly damage your transmission.
Note: Even an Original Magnefine filter can weep at the screw on cap (case) seam.

Manafacture Tech Quote: "The Magnefine at 35microns does not restrict flow any more than adding approx 1 foot of hose into a line so it is insignificant"
