K&N filters are pretty good, they allow more air to go through the filter faster than the cloth/paper filters. The problem is the delema you are now facing: over oil and you screw up the MAF/AMM by coating it with oil, not enough oil will allow dust to go through the filter.
Do not use a dry K&N filter. If you have an empty spray bottle lying around, clean it out and use it. Then dry off the excess with a shop cloth or an air gun (preferred).
There is no way you can add oil safely and evenly by pouring it on and wiping it down. I used to just buy a new filter, just so I didn't have to go through the aggrevation.
Besides the cost, the OEM cloth filters are very effective if you replace them annually.
