Has anyone used K & N filter oil on a Ramair filter? Is it ok to use?

Don't do it! The Ramair material will break down. Only use the correct polymer fluid.

Best check often your intake often because the filter is not foam.

I've been using an aftermarket cleaner and spray oil on my Ramair for several years now also.... No deterioration of the foam.

When you do get around to cleaning the Ramair filter, don't forget to clean/oil the foam crankcase breather/filter also. Just did mine and it was pretty filthy. I have mine on an extension hose so it sits slightly above the valve cover at the rear of the engine.
