This being the 1st 2 Stroke I've had...why do they need? an oiled Air Filter as opposed to just a  paper Element?
If it came to you in a box it 's not Custom, it's just bought.

Need ?

I'm not so sure they 'need' the oiled element . The oiled element might draw more or more free flow of air which could effect the overall performance of the motor .
I think there are members that run different filters . I run the oiled OEM 'biscuit' with a 1/4" thick piece of fine scrub pad ( for catching chunks ;) ) . I have run pleated fabric filters that I applied K&N oil to on former 2 stroke motors with no ill effects .
