Default K&N Filter with no oil on it?

I know its not advisable to run the filter with no oil on it but what is the other filter options for a supercharger inlet filter thats not a K&N or any other brand that requires oiling that has a 4" filter opening?

What's wrong with oiling it ?

The oil will help with filtration, other than that, you can run them dry.

I find the blower sucks the oil out of them pretty quick though, and can be seen on the mouth of the blower.

I ended up doing a very very light misting of the oil until I get a paper element filter.
