I use nothing but my air compressor, because I was under the impression that any chemical can affect the maf greatly. I could be wrong, though.

electric contact cleaner, I used that on mine. it works great, leaves no residue, and wont damage the sensor. i tried using compressed air first, but it didn't get the oil off, just the dust off of it. you need a mild solvent like the electric contact cleaner to melt the oil off.
