Alternately, Radio Shack sells ferrite magnets for 10 cents a
piece and with a little super glue and a new oil filter you can
mount these magnets where they will trap these particles in 
a location which is benign and where there is a high volume flow.

Putting them on the "dryer" unit in your airconditioner is also
a good idea.  The super glue will hold them in place and putting
a drop in the intended spot and quickly wiping it away with a
clean paper towel will insure a better bond on an otherwise oily surface.
