Most stock airfilters scoop up enough air, and have a very low resistance.
I personally would not change the air filter, unless it's not working fine. I also would not change a stock air filter with oil, for a dry one. If the dry one works better, it won't work as well with oil. If it works better with oil, it more than likely works worse without.
It might improve your air intake, if your air filter is restricted (usually combined with smaller jets, done to meet epa regulations)

In addition, if you do change, you better re-tune your carburetor (jets and/or air-fuel adjustment).
Otherwise, the performance may be worse, and the engine could run leaner and on the way to ruining the valves.
