Don't forget guys, rinse the water through it from INSIDE-OUT.... (you don't want to PUSH the debris INTO the cotton element...)
Then MAKE SURE IT IS THOROUGHLY AIR DRY!!!! (Don't recommend blown air or HEAT induced rapid drying.... take yer time...)
When you apply the new oil, just run a small bead along each "RIB-RIDGE" and then let it set and soak in for awhile.... it will "WICK" down into the valleys. Once it has evenly "WICKED", go back and apply small amounts at a time to those areas that are still "WHITE" or otherwise "FAINT" with oil...
TRUST ME, I've been doing these types of filters for many many years.... OVER oiling will not help, rather LOAD UP your engine, and cause the filter to perform poorly, or at least, less efficiently. Good preparation and patience will be rewarded with INCREDIBLE filter life, and the engineered performance they are capable of.
