So long as the oil is not DRIPPING excessive... a good few runs and the natural "sough-off" from the intake air passing through the filter will help "self-regulate" the "oiliness" of the filter. BEST part is, even if SOME oil is "atomized" into the intake... no harm done in the motor. (It would be inconsequential, at best.)

I appreciate your CONSIDERATION and CONCERN for a matter such as this wherein MOST other people would have said "f-it", and just thrown it back on WITHOUT KNOWING if they were at risk.

Oh yeah, just as a side note, since no mention has been made during the thread...

DON'T RUN A MOTOR WITHOUT ANY AIR FILTER!!!!

(This may be FINE for a RACE motor, or for SHORT RUNS down the 1/4 in a radical set-up, but NOT going to do your engine any favors... I've run OPEN AIR VELOCITY STACKS on built-up motorcycle engines before... but after sucking all God's creation into the intake, dust, dirt, BUGS, and OTHER atmosphere-intensive contaminants... the motor rebuild was only good for a couple thousand miles until issues began to surface, and I had to rebuild AGAIN! YEAH, I had it set up for an extra 10-15HP with the stacks, but streetability and DURABILITY are FAR MORE IMPORTANT, even on a radical tune like that...)

DEFINITELY, NEVER do it on a street car.

wet filters will kill MAF sensor, no filter will kill engine

You are good man, no need to cry over spilled milk, or oil in this case.

Yeah what Crisp said... I cleaned my filter AND the receptacle a week ago, and while I was waiting for the filter to air dry after rinsing out what seemed like a whole pound of dirt and portions of bug PLUS some sand in the receptacle.

Therefore, you don't know how soiled filters can get until you clean it, but just the thought of it working its way through the combustion chamber is enough to make you cringe . But then again, I'm guilty for having a Guinness craving while I was waiting for the filter to dry... The drive to the liquor store made the car sound like a whole different animal; it was throatier than a death metal concert and gave it a bit more torque (awesome), but not worth ruining your engine over.
