Cleaned my air filter for the first time the other day. For anyone who's yet to do it, make sure you let the damn thing dry 100%. I let it sit in the sun for a few hours and it felt perfectly dry and flicked it around with no water coming out of it. Installed it and my car would crank, start and then just die. Pulled the MAF and the thing was SOAKED. Cleaned the maf with some maf cleaning spray and wiped all the wet parts down with IPA and let everything dry. Dried the filter indoors with a space heater blowing on it (not too close obviously) overnight. Luckily my MAF didn't have to be replaced and car runs fine. I did reclean and reoil it since the filter should be 100% dry before you oil it.

This is the OG oiled filter, have not switched to the dryflow. For what it's worth, it's been almost 30k miles and the filter wasn't that dirty at all, probably could have let it go longer. My throttle body looked clean as a whistle too which was nice to see. Little to no carbon or oil buildup.
