Most filters come preoiled. Are you sure it isn't preoiled? I think the usual procedure is to pour a light amount of filter oil around the whole element, put it in a plastic bag and then squish the element in the bag, forcing oil consistently throughout the whole element.

And don't get carried away. It needs to be sticky, not saturated.

Use the ziploc method and keep the ziploc, it will be pre-oiled for next time :D
