Does anyone have any experience with filtering with oak chips? BTY, I dry wash with purolite.

There are extensive wood filtering topics at:
biodiesel.infopop.cc
There are dedicated forums there on Making Biodiesel and Biodiesel Quality. Just do a search and you should find what you are looking for.
I have been having good success using dried pine shavings from a local pallet manufacturer.
