Drove it for a week, then pulled the MAF. It looked spotless. Still cleaned it with CRI MAF cleaner anyway. I like tinkering with my car on the weekends so I don't mind cleaning and re-oiling the filter and cleaning the MAF every now and then.
The filter oil does get around the inside of the airbox though. It looks to be catching a lot of dirt before the intake tube.

For me it's 50% "Oil belongs in location A not location B", and 50% removing the change for human error, (over/under oiling.)
Imagine accidentally spilling a bunch and not being able to get enough of it out.
I run the AVO dry flow, it's dry, I'm happy.
