Default Do K&N filters ever go back to red???

Just picked up the filter recharge kit today. I used the cleaner and let it soak in then rinsed. It is still the same dingy grey color. Are they supposed to clean up enough that the color comes back???

Never mind. Apparently from reading another thread the oil is red.[sm=bangbang.gif] Duh!!! Hadn't got that far yet as the filter was still drying.
