i pulled mine off, washed them, let dry, oiled, let dry, replaced on the car. i'm mad at myself because i think i waited too long because i can actually feel it pulling harder now. guess they were well past a good cleaning.

The key to K&N filters and oiling is not to over oil them, and like Presto did, let them dry... The challenges comes when some folks have so much oil on the filter it drips off.... Last car I had with an oil bath air filter was a 1949 Chrysler...
