At least that is what they claimed several years ago when this was a hot topic. Both filters were put on a flow bench and the dry was a little better. Not a huge difference either way...buy whatever looks best to you.

Need to re-read rotofab’s recommendation. “We typically recommend the oiled filter for performance and the dry for ease of maintenance” - e.g. the oiled filter flows more. I agree with others - 12K miles per year, 1K miles on track and you’ll need to re-oil annually. Not a big deal and I’ve been doing it for 14 years. Maybe I’ve just gotten good at it but my re-oils look as good as new. I also use aFe blue aerosol + cleaner $20. Just a personal preference.
