There were actually a total of 2 failures.....the 1st occurred in 3 weeks, the second took 6 weeks (after the 1st) and thats when Ford engineers reviewed the components and stated "Do not reinstall the oiled filter"

and read all the tech bulletins from ford, GM & Dodge about the contamination issues and warranty denials. I personally experienced this on a brand new 1997 Cougar sport (V8)- which I still own today. I have all the oasis reports documenting the contamination issue. After 3 replacements, on the 3rd one Ford requested the brand new K&N filter on the beand new car be removed, which I did in front of the service adviser. There have been no oil contamination or even a sensor failure to date after the K&N removal.
K&N despite being provided copies of the docs, denied responsibility and even refused to buy back the filter (which I bought directly from them).

Its quite funny you keep posting the same post over and over. You sure don't have an axe to grind as you claim. Again please call me and we can discuss the situation you encountered.
At the time you had your issue we did not have a lab set up to test MAF sensors, We have tested close to 350 sensors and not one has had our oil on it. We have performed many onther test and I have posted several videos. Its clear you haven't watched any of them. I would also suggest you go watch your ford tech videos again aswell. Ford tech shows oil on a MAF sensor from an improperly maintained Paper filter.
Again I will be more than happy to discuss your situation, explain what happens on the video if you would rather have a discussion.
