OK to oil foam filter with K&N filter oil temporarily?

Is it ok to use K&N filter oil on a foam element filter like a comptech drop-in or my Weapon R foam filter temporarily? I am waiting on my order from tim for my foam filter cleaner and oil but my filter is not oiled at all and I am afraid that it will hurt filtration. Anyone know if it is ok???

It might actually clog some of the filter spores in turn, cutting off air supply to the engine. But, i could be wrong.

I believe that is true because of the material of the filters, differ
