I don't believe they do to my knowledge. The oiled filters catch a lot more dirt and grime than DryFlows do.

This may be why kingtut. It would make sense, the more oil the more of a chance there is to suck some up and get it onto the MAF sensor thus collecting dirt.

Can't wait to see if the A/F sensor is really it.

And a K&N will cause probs if you over oil.

K&Ns are pre-oiled. But, the person that cleans it, will need to re-oil it. This is usually where the over-oiling occurs.

It was indeed the air/fuel sensor. The car runs great just like it did when I got it.

They come pre-oiled but when you go to clean it next you'll have to oil it again.
