Thumbs down CEL woes

Hey guys, here's my problem. I am having my CEL come on about every three weeks or so. It is always from a dirty MAF. I have a DC Sports CAI and my filter is relatively clean. The manufacturer says it's an "oilless" filter but I'm wondering if I should just oil it (wiht K&N filter oil) and see if the MAF will stay cleaner?

Filter oil would make it dirtier.

What are you cleaning you maf with?

I don't, but I did close up the fender area where the filter sits to keep it dry, I don't think moisture is an issue.

Moisture can still find its way in via fog light. Get a hydroshield and call it a day.
