no you oil the outside. they have two things in the recharge kit. one thing you spray on the outside of the filter and it breaks up and loosens the crap. let that sit and then rinse it out. when it dries apply new oil to the outside and its done.

yep, I bought the kist when I bought my FIPK. That way I would have it when I need it. Here's a link to one: http://www.stylinconcepts.com/part.c...&CategoryID=28
