Yes, off road driving is terminal for the engine (pistons/rings/cylinder walls) unless the K&N is heavily oiled to
"close" the large air spaces that they have, to allow greater air flow, imiproved performance. 

Frequently changed good quality paper filters do a good job.

Quick question: why does poor air filtration result in higher levels of silicone in your oil? Where's this silicone coming from?
