If the oil drips, you have applied too much. Spray with a sweeping motion and don't keep the spray can stationary while you are doing this. Still, letting it sit for a while can't hurt anything.

Simple green works well for cleanimg the filter. Be sure to allow the filter to dry completely, and, re-oil any cotton based media filter such as the K&N with K&N oil kit. The Blackwing filter is made of a special synthetic media, and, should be re-oiled with the Blackwing synthetic filter oil.

I put to much oil on and didn't let it dry out enough in my 1999 Z28...that made for a fun WOT experience!
Thanks!
