Difference between oiled and dry filter

With a dry filter you won't have to worry about oil getting on the MAF sensor.

But which is better for airflow and stuff? Or are they similar in every way except for cleaning them?

the dry filter is less restrictive, and wont coat your MAF-S. And if you know how to fill a cup with water than you too will be able to clean the filter!

Based on some of the OP's questions, that might prove to be difficult.....
