Yup, pretty harmless residue; that stuff would have never made its way up into your engine unless you rolled your car and left it upside-down.

I have been using magnets for years but not in my Honda as I just got Honda this fall.
I can not determine that any harm has been done by using magnets so far.
Good Luck!

Magnetic drain plugs will do zero harm, that said, they'll be of zero benefit as well.
