That's what I have, recommended by AK. Perhaps you may want something like that seems it appears a bit more fail safe compared to the other.
Problem with this one is that there is very little magnet exposed for $hit to stick to. The protruding magnet has a lot more area to 'grab' particles.

If that's not enough magnet to hold the metal particles in your oil, then that's the least of your worries...
