Earlier had purchased 'DMSO resistant' filter, don't remember now which make etc.
No, I haven't. I looked it up online because I was planning to filter a solution in DMSO, but it turned out that I didn't need it. Here is a reference:
"Consumables and accessories made up of polypropylene, polymethylpentene, nylon, teflon, FEP, LDPE, HDPE, PPCO (polupropylene copolymer) are completely DMSO-compatible whereas those of polystyrene, ECTFE/ETFE are moderately DMSO compatible. Polysulfone, PVC tubings and polycarbonate materials are incompatible with DMSO hence should not be brought in contact with DMSO.
For filter sterilization of DMSO, teflon or nylon membrane filters are recommended. Cellulose acetate membranes should not be used."

In terms of filtering DMSO and many other compounds check these references...makes life that much easier to chose the right filter if needed:
