Oiled filter should be fine. Happened to me once. But I realized I hadn't closed the air box properly after switching the filter

Took her into the dealer today. All is good no problems. It was the mass air flow sensor.

The MAF is easy to clean without dealer intervention.
Takes minutes to do, especially if you are just removing the K&N oily residue.

K&N is a cone filter not a drop in.

OPs situation sounds just like what happened to me a couple weeks ago.. I'll see what kind of filter is in there (replace if needed), and clean the MAF.
