Default K&N Filter Drying Time

Hey all, just cleaned my K&N filter, is there any way to dry it faster than naturally? I would think a blow dryer on low setting would be fine so long as the heat isnt on a single spot for a longer time. I just dont wanna sit here for hours with no vehicle while it dries. Thoughts?

i have used my blow gun on my compressor once to speed up the prosses, but i would not recommend heat. i now do it at night before bed and in the morn i put on the oil and away i go.

It's supposed to be naturally air dried. Over night should be just fine.

Agree... I take mine out, clean and let it dry overnight.

Also, when I re-oil, I've found that setting it on some paper towels helps draw out any excess oil. Looks like brand-new out-of-the-box when I'm done.
