Whoa,whoa, whoa... You post a lot and I respect your posts, and you're right, the explorer doesn't use a MAF sensor, but you have to remember that not all hot-wire style MAF sensors are created equal. Earlier models did not have the "burn off" shutdown feature that later models had which did cause a lot of MAF failures. And even those that did weren't always successful. Sure, some people over oiled those filters but to say it was "user error" ....end of discussion isn't right. As an engineer, would I use an oiled filter on a direct injected engine? No, but if someone shows me some "after filter" pressure differences that shows that some particular oiled filter is far, far superior to a dry filter, maybe. For a stock vehicle, it's not going to make any appreciable difference. In a highly modified vehicle, maybe a few HP. But that's why in a modified vehicle you're going to look to maximize surface area with an aftermarket intake.

That's your "tearing your argument to shreds"? I see you have lots of posts here, along with a "build" thread that consists of 99% wasted effort for bling. How quick is your ST in a straight line? Time slips? How many SCCA autocross trophies do you have? Just because you post a lot and do a whole lot of useless crap to a vehicle does NOT make you some kind of "expert". It makes you a forum tool.
I need a resume now? My ST runs 11’s at 117. I don’t have any autocross trophy’s but I do have a pile of them from some rather fast stuff including one of 5 awards for being one of the first cars into the 3’s in the 1/8 on a 10.5 tire. I spent over a decade running various Pro Mod circuits and have spent over 35 years building cars and trucks as a hobby and professionally. And just because you Google a video that used a bottom of the shelf oiled filter doesn’t make you an expert...aside from looking up shit on the internet. You didn’t even put up an argument to tear down.
Anything else you wanna insult to make yourself look even more like a douchebag? Maybe take a shot at my wife and kids? My dogs? Whatever it is that makes you feel like a big man?
