Where is the oil filter located in the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Oil filter

In this video we can see where the oil filter is located in the Mini Cooper, useful in case we need to replace the oil itself. As shown, the filter is located in the front area of the engine compartment, just below the coolant expansion tank. To disassemble it, first of all we wait for the engine to be cold enough, then we go underneath it and unscrew the bleed hole bolt. We then let all the oil contained in the system flow out, reinsert the bolt and remove the tank. At this point all that remains is to unscrew the filter housing, insert the spare part together with a new gasket and introduce new oil from the appropriate hole.
