Its personal preference. Oiled filters are a little bit tougher to maintain because you have to be careful to oil them correctly. If you put too much oil on the filter, it will get sucked into the engine and gunk up the TB and your IAT sensor...if you dont put enough oil on there, then it wont filter properly. With a dry filter, you simply blow it out with compressed air, or wash it off, and put it back on once dry.

Oiled filters will flow a little more, but the extra maintenance is their only downside.

Matt, that makes complete sense.
I havent gotten to a point yet where I would need to clean and re oil a CAI
