An opening is formed in the side wall of each element so as to communicate with its hole and an oil receiver communicating with this hole is inserted into each element. Therefore, necessary kinds of contaminant particles having mutually different sizes can all be collected in accordance with their sizes in one filtration operation, and an oil not containing the contaminant particles of sizes exceeding a predetermined level can be separated. A plurality of kinds of these separated oils can be produced in one filtration operation.
