Default Holley Filter Oiling Question

Team:

Do I apply the oil on both sides of the filter or just one side?
How much do I apply.......I was wondering....doesn't the oil block the air flow?

Thx
Adnan

Or should I rather wash it again and reoil it?
Does the solvent cleaner that comes in cleaning kit remove the oil also? Although I have made sure there is minimal oil on the the outlet side, will it block air flow?
thx

I can't say for sure if it'll hurt anything, but if you're concerned about it, just wash the filter and only oil the inlet side.
