Mines - VX Air Filter

I definitely agree with your idea of only using dry filters. Those oil filters can cause MAF problems.

Ive used them in my last three cars and never had a MAF issue, again I think its a matter of the owner over oiling them when they clean them. But the difference between oil and non oil filters is probably so small it wont matter which one you use as long as it flows good. But the dry ones might not trap stuff as well as the oiled ones. tit for tat I guess.

Unfortunately this has evolved over the internet as an 'old wives tale'.. and a lot of stories of "my buddy" or "i know a guy who had MAF problems".

K&N has been riddled by this, and has done tremendous testing and have a full department devoted to oil and the effects on the MAF to fight these accusations.

A good read from their site outlining this: K&N Response to Mass Air Flow Sensor Concerns

"Not one of these suspected MAF sensors sent in for laboratory evaluation was shown to have failed due to contamination from K&N filter oil. "
