Yes, it's supposed to be. Most stock and aftermarket air panels are oiled, which helps 'trap' the dust and dirt that's trying to make its way through the filter.

K&N produce a cleaning and re-oiling kit for all of their panel filters, as their panels are designed to be cleaned and reused over 100,000kms.
