Default how many of you oil the outer and inner element of your air filter?

I used to oil both the inner and outer parts of the air filter until i had multiple people recommend that i just oil the inner filter. I change my filters every couple of tanks, and somtimes you can see the red dirt from the track on the innermost part of the inner filter. I don't ever actually see dirt in my engine even when i break it down. My question is, should i oil the inner and outer to catch more dirt? To me it would seem that the oil on the outer filter would attract much more dirt and make it hard for your engine to run. Maybe a filter cover for the prefilter? I use losi filters with a x ray neck and has worked very well and i buy new filters quite regular, and i oil them pretty good.

How do some of you do it? would like some suggestions.
