MINI Factory Oil Filter for the 3rd Generation LCI facelift MINIs - the same Mini Cooper Oil Filter used by the MINI dealers! If you want to stay with the factory original parts, this is it! Whether you need to do a 'system flush' on a brand new low mileage engine, or change your oil more frequently than the factory recommendation, this is the correct filter.
NOTE: MINI updated their model lineup with their 2020 models. This filter is appropriate for the new face lifted 'lci' models (life cycle impulse) which includes the new B36C and B46C engines (B46D and B48E for JCW models). Models prior to 2020 uses a different filter. Select appropriately. If you have any questions identifying the correct filter, contact us with the vin number [ click here ]

Many owners feel the factory interval is too long and they change their oil and filter once if not twice between the recommended interval.
We recommend you change the engine oil more frequently than the factory recommendation. Anecdotal evidence suggests Turbochargers on the 2nd generation MINIs seemed to have more trouble-free miles when the oil is changed more frequently, and we suspect the same will hold true for the 3rd generation F model MINIs. We recommend you change your oil every 5,000 mile or less.
MINI recommends:
- Regularly check the engine oil level after refueling
- FULL SYNTHETIC motor oil with API SL or superior grade specification
- BMW longlife-01 or BMW Longlife-01 FE+
- Viscosity Grades: see notes below
- NO oil additives
Dispose of the used oil and filter properly, please! And wipe that oil off the driveway before you track it into the house!
If you are performing the oil change, you will need the following tools:
- This 32mm socket for the oil filter housing
- A T55 socket for the oil filter housing drain plug
- A 17mm socket for the engine oil drain plug
- An a ratchet, extension, and maybe a universal joint
Torque values:
- Oil Filter Housing 25Nm or 18.4 ft-lbs
- Filter Housing Oil Drain Plug 5NM or 3.7 ft-lbs or 44.5 INCH-lbs
