SOAK the whole filter in oil????????? Maybe in motocross, but not a street bike. I have never heard of this method before and would never recommend it. Not sure about pre 06, but 06+ filters will not let you squeeze anything out. You dont need any where near that much oil. 
In a bucket with the cleaning soultion dip the filter in and out and swirl it like a "washing maching." After few times when you are ready to rinse, take a garden hose and from the inside of the filter have the water pour out. This will get any left over crap and sloution out. After filter drys you can spray the K&N oil on the filter till all of it is pink in color. Let it sit and check if you missed and spots (I usually do another quick once over).
