Also, if you never change the oil, and sell the car with 20k miles, you most probably won't see any issues with it.

I ran a high flow oiled panel filter in my GMC Yukon for almost 100k miles before changing it. The 5.3 engine was still perfect at 229k miles when I pulled it and replaced it with something hopped up a little.
A friend of mine has 370k miles on his Yukon with the original motor. It has had a K&N cai for about 200k miles.
Oiled filters do not cause premature engine wear. I run the Roto Fab dry filter on my car because I like how it looks. Just keep a clean air filter on the vehicle of some sort and move on with life.
