A lot of diffs have magnets just sitting in them. Stuck to the diff cover.

It’s a small magnet, it would stick to the pan when I’d take the oil out. For reference it was a Z1 magnetic oil drain plug. I just don’t want any crazy damage done you know?

I hear you. There is 0.00001% chance it can make it through the mesh.

My only distant concern is that it's accumulating metal particles and you can't get them out of the pan... I don't see that causing an actual issue, just more of a "if it shouldn't be there, then it shouldn't be there" thing.
