    ive got probably 20k miles on mine and have cleaned and re-oiled twice now.

    If you dont trust your k&n entirely like me or worry about the oil gunking your MAF sensor I just found out that running a shop vac over it for a few minutes after oiling it pulls any excess oil off before putting it in my truck that otherwise may come off when running and enter the intake.

    FWIW!

    The shop vac is a good idea. On others vehicles I'd usually wash a k&n and let it dry overnight, then oil it the next day when I get home from work and then let it dry overnight again. It's a 3 day process for me so I quite using them.
