    Default K&N filters bad?

    So I know a lot of people say filters like K&N are bad because of the oil on them and they are even worse on s/c cars because they really suck the oil in. I already replaced my MAF(possibly from the drop in K&N from previous owner). So I am planning on doing the fwi and I see people using the spectre filters. Aren't they covered in oil also. Thanks

    I just wonder why because from what I understand K&N and spectre both use oil and possibly could use the same recharge oil.
