George is correct that excessive oil will degrade the MAF sensors. But 
that clean air reversed that? Does he perhaps think that the oil 
evaporates in clean air? If it did, it wouldn't be much good on the 
filter, would it! You really have to take what George says with a grain 
of salt. He made such outrageous statements on one MBZ list that he got 
laughed off of it.
