road+track on k+n
just saw in this month's r/t a letter regarding the failure of a mass airflow sensor in a nissan maxima, attributed (by the owner) to over oiling a k+n filter. this is apparently easy to do as it takes hours for the oil to migrate throughout the gauze so folks use too much to quickly finish the job. just thought i'd mention it for those that aren't aware.

yep, be careful how much oil you use on your K&N. the only first hand experience i have with this was on a GM pickup (wasn't mine, just came in to the shop) where the MAF was caked in oil and dirt. i was able to clean the sensor and it worked much better.

I bet he had a trouble code that said "mass airflow sensor failure" so he assumed it was bad and bought a new one. He could have just cleaned it.
