The K&N I have came with the car. I have read good and bad things about them. I have not used any of the recommended oil on it. I inquired at my local auto parts store where they sell K&N's about the oil they refer to on the K&N web site. They don't carry it and the guy said to just clean it with some detergent like 409. Not knowing any better, when I discovered the problem, I dunked mine in a bucket of Kero. It cleaned it up really well. I hope this was not detrimental in some way.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is my MAF?
