My mechanic cousin told me I was using way too much oil on my air filter

I used to soak my K&N filter heavy with that red oil from the recharge kit. My cousin who works at a shop in Austin saw me doing it and said I was choking the engine with excess oil. He told me to only do 3 light passes and let it sit for 20 minutes before reinstalling. Has anyone else been overoiling their filters for years without realizing it?
