Plenty of people have shared their after the fact problems / challenges in various vehicle forums. Since I don’t use washable filters I can’t speak further to their performance claims. It is worth noting the Z/28 OEM dry filter was made by K&N, it is mentioned in this article:

You are correct. Over oiling causes more issues. I have oiled K&N for all my other vehicles and very lightly oil them plus I keep MAF cleaner around. No issues with my current cars but I had a boosted one that would always foul the maf if I put any oil on.
Plus the “factory” one is less $
