Default Could K&N oil cause this????

Here it is. When I got my car it was totally stock. A 99 M6 WS6 with 28K miles. My first mod was a Lid and K&N filter. I got them both used so the first thing I did was clean my K&N with the recharge kit. I think I may of oiled my K&N a little too much. Ever since that, a couple days later my car started to bog down uppon acceleration periodicaly. Since then, it has been doing it more and more (bogging down that is). Could this be my MAF sensor getting some of the oil on it or something else?? Trying to fix the problem I have changed both 02 sensors, sparkplugs and extensivly checked for leaks... So far I can figure out the problem. Also, no SES codes to go by....

Yep, sounds like you got some K&N oil on your sensor. Those things are VERY sensitive, and it doesn't take much. Go get yourself some electric parts cleaner spray, and clean them off. Be careful, and get them clean. Your car should run fine afterwards...
