Default K&N Filter Oil

Evidently I put too much oil on the K&N when I recharged it. It was dripping off the bottom of the filter cover today....is the only solution to clean it and oil it less this time around?

Yes, clean it and re-oil it. Remember you are not painting the filter, just spray enough to cover the filter element. I did the same before, oil spills on the exhaust and all over my pants.
