Hi. Can somebody recommend a filtration system to totally clear out water in oil after it’s changed

Set up a bubbler in to blow bubbles in the bottom of your tank. It may sound crazy but it works. You can use a fish tank setup.

Make good choices,

Wurtec has filter elements for a filter cart that are designed to remove water. Never used them myself so can’t say if it works any better than a bubbler.

We use an air bubbler and a heating element together, works great.

Will the oil heat up enough from normal use to make the bubbler effective or is some sort of heating element necessary?

There was an outfit called CIA (no kidding) they showed up at an elevator convention selling pigs to remove oil from water. I told him I needed the opposite a pig tube or matt that would remove water from oil. Couple months later he said we have it now and we bought them wired them in the tank, so they didn't get sucked into the screen and they worked great. Probably 7 years ago and they were from the shipping port industry,

Basic fish tank air stone works fine or rig up small pvc pipe and drill a bunch of little holes in it if the stone makes you nervous (that's what I did). It's all about getting water to evaporate at the surface so leave the lid open and keep a fan in the room. I've had heavy water contamination and it took a couple weeks but works great. Milk will turn to perfect looking oil haha, no joke.
