Told him about your experience and he had a eureka moment.

I'm glad your case worked out well. BTW, I have a K&N in my Ford diesel truck but try not to over-oil it.
Not to get off topic, but for the record, I never added any oil to mine..It was what came right out of the box. I think it's just the close proximity of the sensor to the airbox that allows the oil to fowl the map. One thing that bothers me is K&N never responded to my e-mail and Ford knows of the problem but doesn't reference it anywhere in their manuals or sales brochures.
