Here is some info concerning cleaning intervals from the K&N Website that should be helpful.

4. How often do I need to clean my K&N air filter?

If you have not experienced a decrease in mileage or engine performance, chances are your filter is fine and does not yet need cleaning. To be more specific, the filter does not require cleaning if you can still see the wire screen on the entire air filter regardless of how dirty it may appear. When the screen is no longer visible some place on the filter, it is time to clean it. When used in normal paved road, street or highway conditions, our replacement air filters that fit in the factory air box should require cleaning every 50,000 miles and our large conical filters on an intake system should require cleaning every 100,000 miles. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. We recommend that you visually inspect your filter once every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is still visible. . . ."

All that being said, I still check the ones that I use every 10,000-to-15,000 miles. You can pull the CAI and shine a shop light into it's large mouth to see if you can still see the wire screen that holds the cotton gauze filter material in place.

Finally, remember to not over-oil the filter. It only takes a small amount of oil to recharge the filtration ability of a cotton and wire mesh filter. I like to use the aerosol recharger kits. One light pass across the inside and outside is all it takes.

Well, I would let it dry... Not like I'd be washing & oiling the MAF as well; that's downstream of the DoS intake, not attached to it.
