Of course it’s possible since you can cruise the hiway with 30 HP on an engine capable of 300 HP for hours at a time!
Aircraft engines running full power at take off and 60 – 80% power during flight means a 5,000 Hr TBO is nothing to scrimp on!
Since you have a spin-on tranny oil filter, see if the steel shell is .020” thick or less, then you can use FilterMags or individual
magnets on the shell to pick wear metals in the ATF. If your spin on filter has a shell .025”, FilterMags are less effective.
At .030” or more, it’s not possible to use standard FilterMags and get results.
See the results in this PDF: I’ve been able to get the same results too, so I’m happy.

They have 2 filters, there's one in the pan too. There are big magnets on the bottom of the pan on the inside that do a very admiral job of catching metal particulates. I wouldn't worry about attaching them to the spin on filter if it were me.
The spin on transmission filter has a magnet on top of it between the filter housing/mount and the top of the filter from the factory.
