Oiling an Oil Filter

[IMCanadian]

Just wanted to get some advice. I'm always worried about the amount of oil to put on my Air filter. How much are you guys putting on?

I basically put about 3 tablespoons of oil in a plastic bag and spread it around the filter. There seems to be a light film of oil on the outside of the filter but nothing to squeeze out. Is this enough oil?

I don't think you can put too much in my opinion. I put enough that its soaked practicaly, enough to let the filter soak some of it up, as long as its not dripping to make a mess *shrugs* what I've always done...

I like the spray on oil myself. Its just easier to work with and you dont have the mess to clean up or the wasted oil.
