Running a K&N filter WITHOUT oil would probably be MORE harmful than with it. The filter is basically an oiled gauze type filter, meaning it's more open than paper type filters, but uses the oil as a way to trap particles.

The whole 'K&N Filters will muff up your MAF' is mostly conjecture. I ran one in my previous car that had a MAF, and never had problems.

You DO need to be careful when cleaning and reoiling so as not to get TOO much oil on the filter.
