You do realize that if there's metal particles, they don't just drop to the bottom of the engine like it was a tank of water... more often than not, it is suspended in the oil.

Ultimately you need to decide why you need a magnetic element and what you are trying to accomplish. Filter Mag can be reused across multiple cars as long as the filter is of a similar diameter.
