K&N Intake Kit - Evo X
Wouldn't matter if it was oil filter or not. K&N has done a ton of testing, they tested rumors of oil destroying MAF sensors 3 years ago with 107 of them and not one was malfunctioning from K&N Oil. Sheesh

http://www.erzperformance.com/product_p/69-6546twr.htm this is it and per the unit i have installed and their paperwork inside this is a dry filter holmes
On the other hand, there's nothing bad about running an oiled filter as long as you oil it PROPERLY. Most of these horror stories come from people over saturating their filters. I actually like the look of the setup but don't like the maintenance. So stop being such a jackass...you're too new for that "pal".
i have k&n drop in filter and UICP.
the stock intake box is very good IMO, keeps cold air inside.
i did a lot of research for intake on our cars, they are quite useless after tune if not tune it makes the car running lean. a lot of 405whp evox still running stock intake box. so if you do more research on it, intake mostly for looks on our car, not really help you a lot. the UICP is good mod tho.

Your car runs lean ONLY when you first install the intake. After you drive the car for a while the ECU senses the lean condition and adds up to a max of +12.5% fuel during cruising. So your car runs RICH and m ight trip a code p0170 (system too lean).
That is why tuning for an intake is a MUST on hotwire MAF equipped cars like the Evo X and ALL the turbo subies.
An intake does help improve power. It helps you hold more boost by redline especially if the car is running on the stock EBC without any pill modification.
I've had this kit on my car for at least 6 months and love it. I flashed with the Cobb AP map, SF intake stage 2, and is running strong. I figure the SF intake is essentially the same thing, and the tunes are conservatively safe enough to run a slightly different intake.
As far as oil, K&N would be out of business if "oil on MAF" was such an issue for that many years, on hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Just make sure the filter isn't a factory freak with a ton of oil dripping of it. Oil the filter enough to turn it pink/red after cleaning, and it'll be fine.
