with the maf disconnected the car runs in a default air fuel map. Just like when you disconnect the battery and before the car learns...it runs default.
If the MAF is sending out crap readings, when you unplug, it will run better.
I think I can say with confidence that it is the consensus that any oil is risky and really might damage maf.
I am sure someone will speak up defending an oiled filter, but are you willing to risk a 250$ MAF sensor just because you over oiled. Besides, Power gains are very debatable that any replacement really matters.
I regret installing mine. Not because of MAF, but because my "cold air intake" really increased my intake air temp by 50 degrees when measured off the ECU. But it was such a pain to install, I dont want to undo it.
They make cone filters that are dry-oilless-reuseable-washable. I have one, works fine.
