Non oiled ones are the better option IMHO. Green and k&n are your best option

Both of them are oiled

But yes, either of the above are good filters. There's a test in the new Jap Performance and both give over 10hp on a blob STI

The same article had a comment from K&N who tested approx 200 MAFs that had failed and whilst approx 20 had oil contamination, they could not prove that the failure was a result of the oil contamination.

I'd go for the K&N .. used them in all previous scoobs with no problems.. plus if it's good enough for Andy Forrest when he's remapping ( check his website ) then it's good enough for me!
