Operation: How to replace engine oil and engine oil filter on Mini Cooper

In this video tutorial we can see how it is possible to replace the engine oil and engine oil filter on Mini Cooper. The first thing to do is to buy the oil filter and engine oil from an authorized dealer. Lift the bonnet and secure it with the special rod. Use a 76-14 F socket wrench to unscrew the filter coin housing cap along with the old filter element; prepare a container for the old oil filter. Remove the filter element to be replaced from the filter housing. To prevent dirt from entering you must cover the oil filter housing with a clean cloth. Lift the car with a hydraulic jack and put jack stands for our safety. Unscrew the oil tank cap and place a container for the used oil under the oil pan. With a socket wrench size 13 unscrew the oil drain plug and wait for all the oil to drain into the container. Remove the oil filter; Screw in the oil drain plug when all the oil has drained out. Lower the vehicle and place the new filter in its housing. Top up with new 4.8 liter engine oil (refer to the use and maintenance manual).
