Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Engine oil

How to change the engine oil and filter on a Mini? Let's see in this video guide how to proceed with the replacement. We 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. We remove the worn oil filter and place a new one (after draining the engine oil). We lift the car on a jack and unscrew the oil pan pin; let the liquid flow into a container. Finally we top up the new liquid and close the front hood.
