Just DON'T over oil it ... thats what you hear people complaining about... the owners themselves OVER-OILING the filter after cleaning, then they blame K&N

I spray it down with Fantastic, it's way cheaper than the K&N stuff.
Then I rinse with warm water from the inside - out and set it in front of a fan to dry.
Oil each pleat with the aerosol can from about 6" away.
Allow a couple minutes to soak in and re-install

I have 172,000 on my K&N. I've never seen any oil in the intake hose from the filter to the turbo. I have had some oil film on the turbo intake fan blades.
Oil lightly.

Not that this is entirely related to his question, but interesting reading none the less.

I actually threw my K&N away before reading this, but the link is icing on the cake.

I simply posted a link I found that details a filter test. I had a K&N filter and was unhappy with the performance (intake piping was very dirty after using the K&N for the summer).
The information in the link seems legitimate. People can take the information for what it is worth, and decide from there.
