Yeah I had an ‘04 GTO new back in the day and those Gen 3 MAF sensors were different than the Gen 5 stuff…that sensing element was 100% exposed. These modern MAF sensors all tuck the actual sensing element into a “cartridge” housing so I suspect that’s why they’re much more resistant to an over-oiled filter. Just a guess but seems to be the case. My JLT was WAY over-oiled to the point where I was like “WTF!” but it just didn’t matter during our hub dyno session. So if a filter is oiled properly, it should read just like a dry filter in terms of MAF accuracy.
