There are also rumors that the K&N oil is getting blown onto sensors on more modern vehicles and confusing the ECU. I've never actually seen this, but I always spray the K&N oil only on the "dirty" side of the filter anyways. I wouldn't want to use a thinner type of oil that might leak through, or evaporate or dry too soon. Besides, the K&N oil is fairly inexpensive. Their filter recharger kits also come with a degreaser to help you clean them too. One kit has literally lasted me years and years for all my vehicles.
