Plus, as pointed out above, it has to be a powerful magnet to penetrate the steel filter housing. I'd use a magnetic drain plug (if I were going to use a magnet).
I use a magnetic drain plug in both cars. It is just metallic goo, nothing more. I don't see magnets doing anything on the filter. If there is anything larger than the goo on the drain plug magnets are not going to help as it's already too late
