K&N filters are fine if you maintain them and adjust the maintenance
interval "Bei Starkem Dustenfall", as it used to say on the old Volkswagen
Bug oil bath filters.

oil bubble filters are not very effective - their efficiency drops as
throughput increases. the particle removal efficiency of paper filters
otoh is linear as a function of throughput. with an oil-it-yourself
screen filter, you have all the maintenance hassle and the risks of
reduced efficiency - simply makes no sense.
