[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 537940, member: 52972"] Cotton gauze filters that require oiling like the K&N will bleed a small quantity of oil mist into the intake air stream. Over time this oil can contaminate the MAF sensor wires, causing the engine to run erratically. This is more common after the filter has been cleaned and re-oiled, especially if excessive oil was used. Ford can legally charge you for cleaning or replacing an oil contaminated MAF sensor but cannot void your warranty on the rest of the vehicle. If you use the K&N and sometime in the future your engine begins to run erratically, it would be wise to clean the MAF sensor wires before taking it to Ford for any warranty work. Cleaning the MAF may clear up the problem and not require any servicing by Ford. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
