I have been a ford guy (kinda) and the thing with the oiled filters and MAF, is related to oil depositing on the hot wire of the MAF that then will not read as accurate as it could. That's all. This did not always cause a check engine light, but may degrade the cars performance in the realm of acceptability to the EEC system. On the flip side some cars have never have any issue at all and have full performance all the time with MAFs and oiled filters, so there is the information I have
