Why I wouldn't get K&Ns? I'm not comfortable with maintenance and oiling them. Not interested in the minimal gains really either. Don't want to risk getting dust/debris in my engine or oil on my MAF.

Now, choices:
-OEM filters?
-Fram extra guard CA10544. (too restrictive?)

Any thoughts?

Just how do you figure that Fram filters are "restrictive"? A little documentation to back up your claim please......

That wasn't a claim, hence the question mark, he was asking

K&N drop ins plus PMTs here and very happy with them, 80-90% performance of the best CAI's (like the G3) at 30% the cost.

For those really worried about fowling the maf's with the oil, it's over oiling when recharging them that can do it, so just sell or toss the filteres every 20-30K miles and buy new, that's what I do, or more accurately, plan to do and they're not expensive so problem solved.
