BS. silicone can damage your o2 sensor, but not oil.. especially not the lightweight oil that's on your K&N. First, if you have that much oil coming off your K&N, you put on too much. Second, if there's more oil coming off your K&N than from the rest of your 100k-mile plus motor, then you don't drive your 16v hard enough! :D You've gotta be burning more motor oil than that. So to sum up- don't worry about it.
