S&B filter cleaning
I have to assume that the thread I posted the other day didn't make it on because I can not find it. If it did make it on, I'm sorry for the repeat.
I have to do my first cleaning of the filter and I just wanted to know if there where any useful tips that are not shown on the DVD they send with the kit. Any and all help is appriciated in advance.

I just last week cleaned mine for the first time; cleaned it per the instructions, re-oiled per instructions.
Then let it sit for about 4 hours stuffed full of paper towels.
Removed the paper towels (they had soaked up some oil), then duct taped the filter onto the hose of my shop vac and let it run for about 10 minutes.
This to simulate running at WOT and suck up any oil.
Put the filter back on and no problems whatsoever. No CEL from oil fouling the MAF.
