Went through my truck the other night just to check it over, tighten up anything that may have loosened up and to do a little cleaning. For the heck of it I pulled the Outerwear cover off my HPI Baja air filter to inspect it. Then I removed the black foam prefilter. I was really surprised at how dirty the blue oiled filter element was.

I have ran my truck enough to put about 2/3-3/4 of a gallon of fuel through it. The conditions, while on dirt mostly, I wouldn't call overly dusty. So just an FYI, check and clean those filters often. And kudos to HPI for including 2 oiled filters in the kit. I washed the Outerwears and prefilter, installed the new unused filter element and now good-to-go.

I am going to was the and re-oil the main filter, any tips on the best way to re-oil it properly?

Depends on what ratio you're wanting to use, but here is a general idea:

25:1 ratio you would need to use 5oz of oil per one gallon.

30:1 ratio you would need to use 4.25oz of oil per one gallon.

I've also found getting something like a ratio measuring cup takes all the guess work out of it.
 
Do follow the manufacturer's recommendations on how many ounces it takes to make whichever ratio needed.
