Default 2014 stock air filter; I hear it is reusable, but...?

I read on these forums that the stock air filters in the 2014 touring models are reusable but after cleaning them, are we suppose to apply a recharge oil such as K&N filter oil?

I have been using the K&N filter cleaner, then drying and installing with no oil.

Just buy a K&N and don't fret about it.

K&N air filter replacement K&N part #HD-1614 For $60.99, fits all Rushmore ac housings.
Call It good for 25,000 to 35,000 miles, clean it every 5 to 6 years, it will last forever.

Harley describes it as a paper filter, so no it's not really reusable and no it should not be oiled.

I washed mine as described in the service manual. Had a unrelated problem to the bike and took it to the dealers. Told them I had washed the filter as described. They told me it wasn't reusable. I showed them the manual. He said it was a mistake and replaced it. He said you can't wash paper filters.
