Operation: Changing the oil and filter of a Mini

Removing and installing the engine oil filter on a Mini. Let's see in this video guide how to proceed with the replacement: open the car door and pull up the engine compartment opening lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift up the front hood, we secure the same. With a socket wrench we unscrew the large locking pin of the container cap where the oil filter is located. Remove the worn oil filter, unscrew the oil pan drain pin with a special wrench (let the used oil flow into a container to dispose of it) and screw it back on at the end. We mount a new filter in the container making it adhere well around the walls. Finally we top up the engine with the new oil. We close the front hood finally.
