might be able to put a speaker magnet or something on the bottom or side of the oil pan, probably would work even better.

Check out the Filter-Mag. That's the company name, I believe. It's a powerful magnet you strap onto the side of your oil filter, actually it stays on there itself.....look it up on google

Neodymium magnets are expensive.

Look in your JEG's or Summit catalog. JEG's has a Moroso screen for $15 and an Engine Check screen for $10.
