toyota filters

most toyota filters I have used contain a magnet to trap loose metal particles and some also have an "anti siphon" feature to keep oil in the horizontal mounted filters

I always use genuine filters. I have never heard that they contain a magnet. Scott

I've cut open a couple of OEM Toyota filters and there was no magnet inside (or out). See

I've always placed a strong magnet on my vehicles, down by the drain plug of the oil pan. It's never fallen off, even on the bumpiest roads! Dave

Wouldn't an anti-siphon be sorta the same thing as a anti-drainback?

I've never seen a filter with a magnet built in, but I've seen the add- on magnets, never used them....
