The only thing it will pick up is crank bearings, everything else is aluminum... By the time your bearing start to show up on the magnet it’s too late. The best way to keep track of what's going on inside there is cutting open the filter and looking at what's inside.

It might be mostly aluminum, but the cylinder sleeves and rings are still steel. These still wear and create the very small particles that a magnetic drain plug catch.

i wouldnt suggest using the magnetic plugs, ive seen a bunch of them fail, the magnet comes out of the bolt and then that goes into the engine. The filter will take care of the very minimal amount of debris from the piston/cylinder, under normal conditions you really shouldnt have anything shaving off that would cause a problem to anything

Wow, that is a junk magnetic drain plug if the magnet comes out. There are good quality ones out there.
