OEM filters aren't oiled. The rubber gasket around the edge of the filter might be a little greasy to keep it from drying then cracking and leaking. Did you buy from dealer or auto parts store?

I have no idea how oil would get in the air box. When was the last time you checked the airbox when it DIDN'T seem oily?

Was your PREVIOUS air filter a K&N?

+1. Neither are the standard aftermarket ones. Where did you get this filter from?

Question

Why did you put oil on a paper filter?
