K&N Filters will clogg your MAF!
EDITED:
After 2 days of my truck being at the dealer, i finally got it back today. Reason being:
Clogged Mass Air Flow due to Oil from your K&N Filter.
I had the filter on my truck for 14,000 miles. The guys at Whaling City Ford didn't charge me for the part, it was all covered under the warranty (maf) so im happy bout that. With a new MAF and the stock filter back in my truck, my engine seems to have power again. Lesson learned, dont buy used k&n's ??
Im not trying to blame k&n, or myself... Possibly the previous owner put too much oil on it

50K on my MAC filter without problems. My Eclipse had a K&N for around 50K, and I also had zero issues. The Mitsubishi MAF is even more senseative to oil, as it counts vortexes in the airflow.
My guess is that yours had too much oil in it. People tend to go a little overboard when they re-oil them. You use a very very light coating.

The directions it comes with are very simple. Well if you oil it to much it will leak and be sucked in BUT since the guy is a douche and said it was good to go, you don't seem to be at fault, but I don't think you should be so quick to judge the air filter for it seems to be a faulty technician rather than faulty equipment.

What they are saying is that YOU are blaming K&N NOT the OLD OWNER who is the one that over oiled it causing the problem. You are making it sound like its the filters fault it got over oiled... last I tryed my filter couldn't oil its self.
So... clean your filter, oil it the way its supposed to be, install and be happy. (basicly what Swoopy was saying)
