Air filter replacing query

I've had a K&N filter for at least 6 months now ... no problems at all.

I've had the K&N panel filter in my GTI for 8 months or so.

I had to clean the MAF after a couple of weeks using some alcohol because it got some of the filter oil on it (basically i noticed the fuel consumption got a bit worse after a few days or so), but i think that's just a teething problem. I guess they must be pretty heavily oiled from the factory sometimes, and it takes a bit of time for the excess oil to work its way off the filter.
