This is an old debate. I will say that dust is a terrible problem in AZ. Drives us all cray cray!
That said I just installed a KN and noticed it was over oiled from the factory, so I intend to remove it and clean it and re-oil it myself. Have been using KN style oiled filters on a Rotaxaircraft engine for years - also tends to get over-oiled. Key is to use the cleaner and wash it thoroughly and then let it dry for a while and only oil the outside.
