Proper way to clean the K&N filter?
I have been running K&N for the past couple years but always seem to over oil the filter. I just want advice from you guys as to if im doing it right or other ways to do this. I start by spraying the cleaner and letting it sit for a few and then rinse it out. I will let it sit and dry then oil it. I oil it by putting the oil charger in the grooves all the way around the filter. I usually end up with excess fluid that wants to drip all over and even after I let the filter dry and slap it on my rig it will still drip. I wonder if I end up with more dirt build up being its wet and attracting the crap. So how do you guys do it? Looking for serious advice, none of that K&N sucks comments please.

I think the oil he's talking about comes in a little squeeze bottle and you have to squeeze it into each pleat. The aerosol is MUCH easier to control in terms of the flow.

I have the squeeze bottle to and I oil on the top of each pleat.
ie: /\ Just run down the top from one end to the other. I go a bit quick and slight because the oil spreads easy.

I way over oiled my fiancee's last time I cleaned it. Next time, i'm going to barely run the bottle over the top of each cleat, then let it sit for a day or two and check on it. last time I was seeping extra oil out of it for a week before I felt comfortable putting it back into her car. I had oiled the crest and trough of each cleat which ended up being way too much oil
