I oil atleast once a season, depends how much I ride....

I oil after every ride now since it is starting to get warm and dirt is turning into dust. K&N does require more maintenance but there are very easy to maintain. Take the extra time to oil any filter.

Maybe... But I have never heard of not oiling a filter unless you dont have the right oil. Maybe your filter would last longer but it wont prevent any dirt from getting through.
