FWIW
We've run oiled air filters for 40 years in my bikes.....no big deal and I've run an oiled K&N in my SLK for the past 180,000 miles....just oil properly but most Over-oil causing issues....this is one of those cases where "more" is bad, very bad!
The bikes are all old tech...no sensors, carbs etc. The '02 car has a complete Canbus system complete with all the sensors, maf, FI etc...also no issues....JMHO
