I put off cleaning saw oil by using my old white socks. I punch holes in a quart milk carton and put a white sock "filter" in it. I staple it in. Then I put it in the hiorner of the 18-inch saw and use a trowel and put some of the dirty oil in it. It does a good job filtering and delays cleaning all the saw oil. It only delays it but it does keep the oil cleaner. Toss it out once in awhile and make a new one and start again.

I go to the paper supply store (XPEDX) and buy the brown craft paper shopping bags. The big ones with the twine handles on top. I use two at a time in a 5 gallon bucket drilled with 1/4 inch holes. I place that bucket on a 12 inch lenght of 6 inch PVC pipe.
I usually clean out my 10" lortone 3-4 times for every 18" hp clean out. When I clean out my 18" saw once the oil is filetered out I toss the sludge. I figure I lose about a gallon. My oil comes out looking like brand new oil.

Thanks for the ideas folks.
Rick I think the type of bag is the secret. I am going to try and find some different bags and give that a try.

Connrock,
I was mesmerized by the video. I was waiting for him to get a critical part of his anatomy hung up in the accordion.
