Find a scrap hyd tank off a machine with a gauze suction filter in the bottom of it and let gravity do it for you.

Look at waste veg oil filtering gear for booking fuel.
Cheap, easy.
Drum with two taps, and some sock filters.

Sheeps wool.
I used to filter used cooking oil through it. Was an upside down gas cylinder with a tap on the outlet on a stand, a bit of inch mesh as a floor where it curves in, layer of wool spread evenly across it, then another mesh top to squeeze it down. Fill up cylinder with oil let it drip through.
Oil came out spotless.

i looked at a few options when i was studying oil filtering.
these are the filters i used in my experiment.

altho not a plug and play option as you have to get imaginative with the welder and invest a lot of time in it but the filters are washable, are excellently made by that lad and do what they say on the tin.
large filtering area so they will work long time rather than a lube cartridge type filtering system.
i ran 150um primary and 50um secondary, both under pressure but with a gravity fill system.
but like i say, its no a plug and play job.
iirc there is an abundance of systems on the tube, some very elaborate systems and some simple ones.
