Genuine OEM MINI factory replacement oil filter - You can never change your oil too often - it's cheap insurance! Includes the filter, O-ring, AND a new crush washer for the drain plug.

If you own the Cooper S model with the Turbocharged engine, we STRONGLY recommend you change the motor oil more frequently than the factory recommendation. Anecdotal evidence suggests the MINI's turbocharger have fewer issues with more frequent oil changes. We suggest 5000 mile oil change interval or less. Make sure you use FULL SYNTHETIC motor oil with the ACEA (Association des Constructeurs Europeens d'Automobiles) A3/B3 specification.

Note: The factory recommends removing the intake snorkel to access the filter, but some have found that moving the reservoir tank aside without removing the lines is an easier way to get access. You decide!

It helps if you 'loosen' the oil filter canister while you drain the oil to allow the oil to drain out of the filter. You will spill less oil this way. To access the filter canister, remove the washer reservoir (1 bolt) but not the hoses, and move it aside. Before you press the filter into the canister cover, press it into the filter base 'all the way' and remove to prep the filter for proper seating. Now you can press filter into the canister cover and install. Remember to use the new O-ring on the canister cover - put a little oil on the new oil ring so it doesn't bind. Start the canister cover by hand to avoid cross-threading. Don't forget to use the new crush washer on the oil pan drain plug.
