MAF failures are random and more time related, and has little to NOTHING to do with oiled filters. And I'm saying this only because I worked, however briefly, at a company that produces automotive air filters (not K&N). EXTENSIVE tests have been done on this matter, both by the companies involved and third party testing facilities.
In fact, said myth has been perpetrated for so long, that there's an entire industry of "dry" synthetic gauze filters that sprung up just to take advantage of the
marketing opportunity.
