Thanks again

FWIW,

I've seen some testing on aftermarket filters...oiled vs. not oiled.  The
difference equals whether or not the oil is pulled into the engine.  The amount
of 'dust' pulled in is so small it can be considered irrelevant.

Regardless...IME, MAF damage only occurs when filters are over-oiled.
