I just put a light mist on mine, it doesn't take a lot, especially with that cover protecting it too

Step 5. Dry - Allow the filter to air dry naturally. (DO NOT use heat sources in attempt to dry the filter faster as this may damage the filter media fibers and/or shrink them.)

Well, re oiled yesterday...lightly and let it set for about 1 hour. Light oil cane off when I touched it, so I just let 'er fly. I haven thrown a code or anything so I think I'm good...

I think you'll be fine. They just don't want it dripping

If you are in a sunny climate and you know its not going to rain for a little while just set it out in the sun to dry. Cleaning K&N filters isn't that hard . Just follow the instructions . The biggest thing is to not over oil the filter when spraying the oil on them .
