Default How much Air Filter should I put on my Foam Air Filters

Hi I have several Nitro off road engines and I was wondering how much filter oil should I put on the foams? Should I also put the oil on both the inner and the outer foams? Thank You Michael

Saturate foam, wring out excess, then blot thoroughly with paper towels getting %100 of excess oil out

From what I've seen about %75 of racers run an oiled pre and main, while the others run a dry pre and oiled main. There is no wrong way. Personal preference and/or track conditions

I really appreciate your advice and will try this. Ive been running both filters saturated but I didnt remove the excess from but I will now. I did noticed it turned the carb insert on my OS XZB carb blue where it ran down the intake.
