Not Dan,
However my son worked for Hitaticia(check spelling), which
manufactured them in Edmore MI. They are made from compressed powder
metals and depending on what they were use for as computers then quite
small or the 8' ones used in science labs and large motors. They come
in different strength and will snap easily. that why some times you
find them incased.

We use to glue them to keys and leave the keys to our hangers stuck somewhere on the sheet metal sides of the building or under the electrical boxes. Almost everyone one of them broke over time. You would go to use it and find the magnet in pieces with the parts stuck to the sheet metal. They broke in strange patterns. We think it was temperature changes that got them and shattered them.
Now we use that magnetic tape that you use to stick signs to white boards. I would never stick one of those hard ones in my oil stream.
Magnets on the outside of the can are OK with me. I have magnets stuck to the bottom on transmission pan and final drive pan. I also have a soft one wrapped around the outside my engine oil filter.

Ken,
What about those magnets used in the base of a mag mount 2m antenna?
$1 each at the hamfest and other places. Could be fitted to the end.

Bruce,
I guess any magnet can break, I would just prefer it to break outside the
filter.
It would be nice if the top of the filter was flat.
If you want a really strong magnet, I found an item at Lowe's made by
Goldblatt called the Blade Runner. It is two pieces about the size of a
black board eraser with two cutting wheels on one and very strong magnets.
It is for cutting sheetrock. Put one on the top of the sheet and one on
the bottom. They hold each other through 5/8 sheetrock. They will stick to
each other and have to be separated with a big screwdriver. And will pinch
a finger really tight. Don't ask!
I bought two as they were yellow tagged to $10 each.
I may experiment with one.
