You should know that the oil on the KN filter tends to end up on the MAF sensor which then throws a code or gets damaged and a new one is like $300.

Bronsin does not recommend KN filters for the Yaris.

I second that. In fact any oiled filter is not recommended. You want a washable dry element filter.

Pretty sure this has never been scientifically proven.

I have been using oiled filters for over 20 years without a MAF problem.

most off road vehicles like RZR and such use oiled filters.

The only way oil ends up on the MAF is if you put to much of it on the media element. I've run oiled filters in every vehicle I've ever owned, and never had a MAF code pop up.
