A magnetic attachment for the exterior wall of an oil filter canister whose purpose is to attract ferrous particles being conducted through the path of the lubricating oil passing through the oil filter canister and cause such to be adhered to the inner wall surface of the sidewall of the oil filter canister thereby removing the particles from the lubricating oil flow path. The attachment has an enclosing frame within which is mounted a series of thin walled plates. The plates are located in a stacked relationship. The plates permit flexing of the enclosing frame so that a plurality of magnets that are mounted in conjunction with the frame will always be located flush against the exterior wall surface of canisters that vary slightly in diameter. The peripheral edge of the attachment is to include ferrous material to prevent lateral escape of the magnetic field.
