Some camps believe that the best thing for K&N panel filters is to get a baking tray, coat a tray with K&N oil and then place the filter intake side face down in it and then let the filter (cotton) decide how much is the right amount to absorb.

When meaford mentioned not spraying the exhaust side he meant oil from it could coat your MAF sensor and fault it.

Drying is VERY important. Run a paper a filter for a week after cleaning and before applying new oil while it dries out. 

I've been using K&N's since the 80's on my bike and I needed a cone for each cylinder, four cones total.

For K&N spray oil, many thin coats is better than one soaker. Just like paint.

In the case of K&N's there is such thing as "over-maintenance" BTW. You can go years between cleanings. I've cleaned the Focus K&N twice in 5 years and that is OCD.

Yes!

For panel filters, A baking tray is the way togo.

For the cones.....short thin coats.
