If you MAF or TB is getting oiled up, you're using WAY too much oil. I've had K&Ns on many cars and done many cleanings of the filters and never once had a problem...even on a 4.6 DOHC T-bird with a 9 lb blower.

The other vehicle I tore apart the air tube and it was slightly coated with oil and some dirt. Go with the dry only, that way you will never have the issue with the oil fouling the sensor in the intake tube! I never over-oiled mine either I was very careful to use very little oil but it still gets through! I am not the only one that has had this issue with there vehicles, I have heard tons of opinions stating the same thing! I learned the hard way though!

Then you are over oiling your filter. They only need a quick spray with a single pass. you should be able to hold the filter in your hand without any excess dripping of comming off in your hand. You just need a light enough spray to capture dirt and that ain't much.
