This seems like a good idea, I've also seen aluminum mesh used but it obviously doesn't filter out the tiniest of debris.

coffee filter takes forever. they don't flow oil for some reason.
a cloth-like paper towel would work (like a blue shop towel). line the inside of a funnel with it and pour slowly.

If you take out oil filter while engine oil is full will it leak out?
