In no way what I am about to say is condoning the use of K&N filters as I do not use them. I've read the independent tests and will not use K&N on any of my vehicles.
Now, I may be taking your comment out of an assumed context, but you do know that OHV ATVs, Side-by-Sides and dirtbikes use oiled foam air filters and those vehicles are run in FAR WORSE dusty conditions than on-road vehicles. Heck, I just returned from a 6 day ATV riding trip in central CO and here is the result of 6 days of riding on an air filter. Picture is a comparison of my second cleaned and freshly identical air filter. This was from about 500 miles of trail riding. And yes, the oiled foam air filters do an excellent job filtering the air.
