As for oil, there was none on the original nor any instructions with the new filter. I didn't put any on as I thought with the increased surface area, and quality, that I wouldn't have to worry about poor filtering.

Hey, Weld, why do I have 30.5mm written on my hand?
You definitely want to oil it, the foam by itself will only stop the big stuff. I use No Toil, the alcohol based stuff. You can get complete kits with the cleaner, the oil and even gasket grease. I bought a bulk container of the No toil (2 litres) and I just use Oxy Clean to wash the filter. No more nasty solvents... You just have to make sure it's good and dry before you oil it.
