An apparatus for removing metallic particles (53) from lubricating oil used in engines, comprised of a magnetic member (34) positioned around a typical engine oil filter (10), a flux amplifier band (36) positioned around the magnetic member (34) and an optional mechanism (38) for adjustably securing the magnetic member (34) and the flux amplifier band (36) to the oil filter (10). Alternatively, the magnetic member (34) can be mounted on the inside surface of the canister (14) so that the canister (14) itself acts as the flux amplifier (36). The magnetic member (34) is magnetized so that it has alternating regions of polarity (50, 51) on inside and outside surfaces thereof. The flux amplifier band (36) extends over substantially the entire outer surface of the magnetic member (34) and it increases the intensity of the magnetic field inside the oil filter (10) generated by the flexible magnetic member (34).
