I pulled out my K&N air filter today as I noticed oil leaking from the clear drain line from the airbox. No oil in the airbox but a very fine layer of dust. Realized I had not used the installation grease. Had a tube from years ago, greased it up real well and reinstalled.

I'm going to check again in a couple of thousand miles and if there is any sign of dust, going back to OEM air filter.
