If you believe you can install and forget this filter like your paper filter. stay with a paper filter.
I agree with you... and if you over-oil the k&n a little, just use a little MAF cleaner to spray down the sensor and clean it and 'Bob is your Uncle' all good till next oil change. I've been using K&N for years in my cars, bikes etc and never an issue so far.
