Yes, there was a slight oil. When I swapped mine I laid the factory ones on the strut bar & it got oily.

Just wondering if mine somehow had gotten some contaminant on them. Wouldn't this tend to de-bunk the "K&N screwed my MAF" and all that? Why does Nissan do this? It is the first time I have seen this. Fear of them getting wet?

No. No one with a brain and a good understanding of how these things work has ever argued there is a problem with oiled filters...the problem lies with improper oiling.
