Abstract
A transmission oil filter includes a housing having a bottom cover defining a top side, a bottom side, and an inlet. A filter is disposed in the housing to filter contaminates and fines from the oil passing therethrough. One or more magnets is disposed on the top side surrounding the inlet so that oil passes by the one or more magnets when exiting the inlet to remove and trap fines from the passing oil. The bottom side has ridges disposed under the magnets to trap fines flowing under the housing.
