There is an Aircraft Oil filter that has magnet on inside. (Tempest) It's glued to case, but 9 out of 10 times, that glue has failed and the magnet is free to shake around. Never seen metal on them.
Champion aviation oil filters do not have magnet, but use higher quality materials. and about $5 more expensive. They also reason magnet not good idea since big chunks can be washed away.
