The filter doesn't need to be completely dry to install it. That little bit of moisture won't hurt a thing. Heck, you could probably install it when it's still soaking wet and it will be fine.

True. I had no issues while driving this in a moderate rain.

If the rain was heavy, I just slipped the raincoat on it.

I was joking about the length of time for the water to dry, but the filter doesn’t need to be dry of water before oiling it?

I’d think the filter oil would bead on a wet filter, causing some areas of gauze to be inadequately oiled.

I knew you were joking, but it was mentioned previously about the dry time as well.

The oil doesn't bead up at all when the filter is damp. Or even when nearly dripping. The goal is just a very light mist of oil on the filter.
