That is an impressive set-up.
Goldenrod makes a cleanable re-usable stainless wire-mesh cartridge for their wonderful see-thru bowl filters that would be a good first filter; as in, you can actually see through the sediment-bowl and many expensive cartridges can be saved by the re-usable factor.
I took the leg from an old pair of jeans and sewed the bottom together, thus making a long denim tube.
I cut a hole through a scrap of plywood that the open top of the pants-leg is screwed through.
This piece of plywood fits on top of a bottomless 5-gallon bucket, with a few cleats on the bottom side to keep the plywood lid on the bucket.
A bigger plywood lid sits atop a drum.
The bottomless bucket sits on top of the wood drum-lid, with it's bottom snugly fitting in a hole and screwed in place.
A barrel-pump pokes through another hole.
Used oil is poured through a funnel into the denim "tube" and filters through the tightly woven cloth, then drips into the drum.
I have no idea how many microns this is.
