All I wanted to know really is how much one has to cover the filter element with the filter spray? Inside and outside, and how thick? Or is it just a guess ?
DNA oil is a liquid in a bottle, rather than an aerosol like K&N stuff used to be (that also comes in a bottle too these days).

Basically you just run a line of oil along the edge of each raised pleat on just the dirty air side (inside on the Z) and wait for half an hour or so for it to soak in and diffuse through to give an even red colour. Recheck that all the cotton gauze to see if it evenly coloured; if there are any pale patches put a drop of oil on them.
