I can appreciate your point. The instruction manual states: “Allow oil to wick for approximately 20 minutes. Touch up any light areas on either side of the filter until there is a uniform red color on all areas.”
Kind of confusing, no?
When the new filter arrived it seemed oiled on both sides. Does the oil seep through to the other side from spraying the one intake side?
