I have 2 supermagnets that are going into the pan that should catch any more steel bits that may still fall from above.

How do you intend to secure those magnets?

Hello Larry; I personally would place a "sheet magic"

http://www.dickblick.com/produ...ible-magnetic-sheet/

cut to the dimensions of the bottom of the oil pan & attach to the OUTSIDE of the pan.

The magnetic strength of the magnetic being more than sufficient to penetrate the relative thin gauge of the oil pan.

Then during the subsequent future oil change, run the motor to heat the oil to operating temperature, REMOVE the pan magnet & "Hope" any metal particles are flushed out with the flow of the draining oil...Mark
