Default i dont think you are....
only a change in diameter of the MAF housing tube would cause an incorrect airmass reading. Filter type, shape, or even NO filter should not interfere with airflow measuring.

but an over-oiled K&N filter absolutely can screw up the MAF.

Can air filter oil that gets on MAF reduce the readings?
