soak it with a 50/50 petrol and oil mix, then let it drain/dry for awhile before using it.

Or just buy a can of PJ1 foam filter oil and spray it on, massage it in and drive away.
To quote the can "filter is properly oiled when all surfaces are coated in oil"
That pretty well covers it I think.

You only need enough oil to make the surface "tacky" so dirt will stick to it.

If you think it is too oily, you can daub some if it off with paper towels, or a clean rag.
