Chips or nails, at least the engine should not get to grind them up, and that is a good thing.
First thing I thought about when I saw that 1435x number was the General Motors Magnetic Ride Control Technology which results in a change of viscosity of the "magnetorheological fluid" which then slows down the suspension damping action, i.e. the fluid becomes more viscous. In our engines more viscous oil results in more resistance in the engine and less power output. So the question is at least, what effect (if any) could a very strong magnet on oil viscosity?
Of course, for that effect to be realized, the magnetic particles would have to remain in suspension instead of sticking to the plug. With a passive source of magnetism (as opposed to an electromagnet in the GM suspension system) the particles are less likely to remain suspended, or else it would be failing at its job.
