I use magnets on my truck.

I put a couple rare earth magnets on the oil filter, the theory being that they may hold any errant metal particles which somehow slip past the filter.
I realize that is pretty unlikely, but I had magnets I wasn't using for anything else, and I can't imagine how it could hurt.

And as a bonus, I noticed a 1000% mpg increase as soon as I did it!!

(ok, maybe not that last part)
