I heard that K & N air filters can leak oil onto the oxygen sensors,is this true? Niello Porsche in Rocklin said to me that they would not install it because they can not guarentee me it would work correctly without leaking oil. I talked to Performance Porducts and they said the only reason those incidents happened because "some idiots poured ALL of the oil onto the air filters". Anyone here use K & N air filters on the 2.5L engines? If so what is your expierence with them like?
