A combined oil filter and magnet apparatus of the invention generally is comprised of an oil filter and a removable and reusable magnet unit attached to the oil filter. The removable and reusable magnet unit attracts and retains ferro-magnetic particles present in the oil flowing inside the oil filter, thereby separating those particles from the flowing oil. Inside the oil filter, an oil flow director is provided to direct oil flow to the vicinity of the removable and reusable magnet unit. With a first embodiment of the invention, the removable and reusable magnet unit is partially received in a centrally located filtered oil flow space inside the oil filter. With a second embodiment of the invention, the removable and reusable magnet unit is completely external to the interior of the oil filter.</PTEXT>
