They have an entire department set up to try and fail MAFs with oil, and have even gone so far as to have staff on hand to help with dealership issues if there is in fact a claim of the K&N's causing an issue..

.. none to date

In addition to Josh's comments and the linked info, I've built over 1000 K&N based intake systems for Audi's and VW's over the years. Never a problem with MAF's (and the Audi type is much more sensitive than the Z style). Internet myths die hard... A problem can arise when the owner performs his first service and over-oils the filter. This is not common but it does happen when the instructions arent followed..
