Given the way most K+Ns show up in the box, I'd be hard-pressed to think the factory oiling job would be overdone. It's possible but unlikely from my experience.
You're pretty low mileage, really, so I'd say likely a dirty MAF or indeed the DPFE. Otherwise, I'll let the Zetec guys weigh in.
Also, try running it without a filter briefly. I assume you have the K+N on the outboard side of the MAF housing? Inspect the MAF for visible oil/dirt/debris.
