Quick Filter Cleaning Question

I am cleaning the filter in my revi tonight and I was wondering if I need to oil the inside of the cone filter also? I searched here and K&N website but I can't find anywhere that says yes or no.

Thanks!!!

No, you definitely only oil the outside. Dont oil the inside as it will cause all sorts of issues with your maf.
