OK, I've got it clean (as clean as I can get it) and dried, and I've
oiled it. About how much of the oil spray can from teh Recharger kit
should I expect to use on the filter (it's the cone included with Tony's
QuickD kit)? I think I probably overoiled, the lighting was bad (making
spots look un-oiled) and by the time I corrected it, I had gone over a
few spots a few too many times I think.
