A disposable filter cartridge for a storm drain and the filter system that uses the improved filter cartridge are claimed. The filter cartridge has a pillow structure, wherein a water permeable scrim bag surrounds loose oil absorbing fibers. The oil absorbing fibers are preferably fabricated from melt blown polypropylene. The filter cartridge is placed in a filter cage that directs water flow through the filter cartridge yet prevents debris from reaching the filter cartridge. The filter cage is suspended below the grate of the storm drain by suspension elements such as chains or rods. The top of each of the suspension elements terminates at an attachment element that engages the grate of the storm drain. As a result, the filter cage and filter cartridge are suspended directly from the storm drain grate. By suspending the filter cartridge directly from the grate of a storm drain, the filter cartridge is positioned directly in line with the flow of water entering the storm drain.
