How much oil on oiled air filter?

I have a Rogue Engineering CAI for my MCS and was wondering if I put too much or too little oil on it. How much oil goes on an oiled air filter? How often is oil added? It also came with an aerosol of air filter cleaner. How is this used and how often?
Thanks

I have a k&n and I usually start off with a light spray of oil. Then after about five minutes I look it over and give a couple squirts on the spots that look dry. I like to have the filter glistening with oil.

Thanks.
My filter is not foam. I gave a light coating and will now give it some more. How do you clean the filters?

Oiled cleaner

I can't speak for Rogue but I have a K&N in my durango and it gets cleaned every 50,000 miles and has a 1,000,000 mile warranty. I of course clean it more often, about every 30,000.
