Hummer H3, PO 171 with K&N
#11
Yeah, I learned of the over-oiling the hard way. Every time I would service the K&N, I would re-apply the same amount of oil as I did during the install and learned that was a no no. Since then, I have only been cleaning, not re-oiling as I know it was over-saturated. I also over-tightened the hose clamps at the time of install, causing the end of the intake to shrink/bend. Pretty sure it needs replaced, I'll post a pic. That's where I get the oil buildup on the outside of the gasket.

If you have oil left on it AFTER cleaning, you haven't cleaned it right. If you are not re-oiling it after cleaning (correctly), you are allowing dirt/dust into your engine.
