I cannot comment on AFE products. Have not used them.
I would suspect that the TRD filter is a K&N product.
Perhaps try K&N filter cleaning and oiling products.
Regarding over-oiling. This can be an issue. I’ve used oiled K&N filters since 1988 in all my vehicles and have never had a MAP sensor fouled, as many users have. If fouled it is easily cleaned with Aerosol MAP Sensor cleaner. Do not physically touch the sensor internals. Just blast with the cleaner and air dry.
My maintenance process is as follows;
Remove soiled K&N filter and if a DD temporarily re-installed the paper filter it replaced.
-Using K&N product and following the instructions clean the filter and back flush.
-Allow the filter to dry overnight perhaps outside in a sunny location. Do not use compressed air or a hot blow dryer.
-Next day apply the oil generously into the pleats as per the instructions. Lay out some paper towels and set the oiled filter on them over-night to drain excess oil.
-Next day re-install the K&N and store away the paper filter for the next cleaning process.

Good Luck and enjoy!
