Haven't had that problem yet but I've only cleaned it once since installing it, probably due for another cleaning. I would expect you to run through cleaner faster, you don't need a lot of oil to re-oil it.

yep definatly go through the cleaner faster and you can't seem to by just the cleaner and I really don't feel like buying another box when I got two full and two half cans of the oil

i have 2 cones and dont use the cleaner that often, i just soak the filter in luke warm water over nigh to loosen up the crap, than take the spicket from the kitchen sink and spray from the inside out, works just as good,
for now

I know that you can get the oil in a bigger can at napa and Mopac so they probably have the cleaner sold the same way

You may never need to clean it

If you have not experienced a decrease in mileage or engine performance, chances are your filter is fine and does not yet need cleaning. To be more specific, the filter does not require cleaning if you can still see the wire screen on the entire air filter regardless of how dirty it may appear. When the screen is no longer visible some place on the filter, it is time to clean it. When used in normal paved road, street or highway conditions, our replacement air filters that fit in the factory air box should require cleaning every 50,000 miles and our large conical filters on an intake system should require cleaning every 100,000 miles. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. We recommend that you visually inspect your filter once every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is still visible
