The PCV system doesn't pass oil over the sensors. It dumps downstream from them. An over-oiled K&N exposes the sensors themselves to oil mist.

I experienced
expensive problems with the K&N that I bought, and they occurred when the filter was brand new and factory fresh...right out of the box. The filter was in the garbage long before I ever had a chance to clean or re-oil it.
Oddly, I have never, in over 40 years of driving and wrenching, had
any kind of a problem with a paper-element filter. Guess what I use now...
