your dry filter has oil stains?, it shouldnt have any for w/e reason, its probably a short ram and you have a leak on one of your tubes or something..

You have to be more specific. A pic would help a lot.

Oh and dont buy a filter cleaning kit, cause the dryflow doesnt require cleaning If I remember right.

Oil filters need oil, but there is a dry filter cleaning system, sold in various websites..

I clean my air filter every time I oil change, every 3-4k miles. If the filter is dirty then clean it.

I soak mine in hot water and blow it dry with an air compressor attachment.
