I guess I will ask it. Why do you have to clean your MAF sensor? Did you over oil your air filter??? I dont think it is recomended in any interval...

They can sometimes pick up a oil film from the crankcase vent tube in the intake system. My Windstar was bad about that.
I have even seen bugs stuck to the filaments before. (probably ran without a filter at some point. Not my ride.
