Although, I did have a KnN filter put in at 100,000km. This is what led my mechanic to the MAF suspicion.

Take that out unless you feel like having to buy a new one(not re-oil) every 6 months. The sensors on these cars are way too sensitive for oil based air filters,unless they are changed out frequentely.

Does anyone know what else it could be???

Blown sleeves in the engine.
