+1, though I'm at 113k.

Soon as I saw the front subframe I thought the only way was to lift the engine, but looks like I'll be dealing with this next time I need to change my oil.

OP, thanks for the write-up. I'll try and take some photos when I'm doing the job.

EDIT: Took another look, maybe it can slide out, towards the rear of the car? Then we can clean out all the sludge and check for anything around the magnets. Guess I'll find out.
