I think the oil on K&N filters tends to get sucked into the intake path and coat the MAF sensing element. The Pro-M web site recommends using a pipe cleaner to clean the sensor.

I like Mach 1's suggestion. Use alcohol. Alcohol will displace the oil on the sensor so that it can be washed away and then dry quickly with no residue.
