Kn Vs Aem

I know that on the iternet have a lot information about K&N filters vs AEM Dryflow filters
AEM Dryflow filters claims that does not damage the MAF sensor on your car because isn’t oiled based filter and its oil free.

K&N says that this is a myth, if the filter it’s oiled properly the filters works excellent.

I feel that this fight evolves high end marketing. Independent test in a particular name brand, it’s a favor of this brand (of course).
My question is…
Those Toyota owners that have an intake oiled based system; anyone have problem with the MAF sensor has been damaged caused by the filter intake?

I've had the TRD CAI (w/ oiled filter) on my car since since 2003. I've been re-oiling at least once a year, twice tops and have handled the MAF for cleaning as well. No problemos whatsoever.

As you said, done properly and you'll be problem free.
