RE: OIL FILTER 2003 SE
I too use the K&N with Mobile 1 synthetic oil in my 2003 Disco. Doing very well...
Be sure to read the owners manual for the proper oil and filter change procedure on your 2003. It reads that the oil should be drained and then replinished before removing and changing the oil filter. Also, it describes prefilling the filter with oil to avoid a dry oil pump situation.

Using a filter magnet as well won't hurt.

You're correct. The magnet is not necessary as the filter media will catch the beasties as they pass through the filter anyway. They can come in handy however if you regularly cut your filters open to look for debris because it will collect ferrous debris in one spot for easy sifting.Any pieces big enough to have a part number onthem are usually a bad sign [8D]
Cutting filters openis standard practice in heavy equipment and aircraft operations, and I've done it many times. Never used a magnet though and caught lots of debris over the years anyway. I drag a magnet over the filter media once I've stretched it out and catch debris that way. Works fine.
