How to replace the motor oil in the Mini Cooper?

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

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the engine oil in the Mini Cooper, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, make sure that the engine is cool enough, then open the hood, locate the filter on the left side and unscrew the housing with a 27mm socket wrench. Then go under the vehicle, taking all necessary safety measures, unscrew the drainage hole bolt with an 8mm hex key and let all the oil contained in the system drain out. At this point, all that's left to do is reassemble everything and pour in the new oil through the appropriate hole.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
