Default K&N filter MAF sensor damage myth-busted

Many concerns on this forum and many others about K&N filters damaging MAF sensors being damaged from oil. K&N performed a series of tests in this video to ensure their product is reliable in the mentioned instance. Just thought this video might help to explain in what ways the oil may or may not affect the MAF. Hope this helps people who are interested in buying an oil based filter as theK&N.

I just put this on, I'm seeing better mileage and I felt a slight responsiveness difference.

Has anyone on this forum faced the oil issue

Add Intake hoses and your responsiveness will further increase.
