To change the oil on a Mini Cooper isn’t that hard but the right tool is required to ensure this process go smoothly. Unlike traditional vehicles where you can just go to your local Auto Zone or advanced auto parts to get the oil and filter that you need to do the oil change. With mini cooper oil change you will need to obtain the Mini Cooper oil filter and BMW synthetic oil from the BMW dealership. (since BMW owns Mini Cooper)You will need a torque wrench with socket size 1 ¾ to unscrew the canister that contains the oil filter. The mini cooper oil filter is just a paper filter that fits inside the canister that contains it and canister is to be reused unlike traditional oil filter you just buy the entire canister and discard the used canister with a new one. After canister is removed then you will need to put the fresh filter in and screw the canister back.
When draining the oil from the mini cooper you will need a starred screw driver head to remove the bolt. Replace the bolt after oil is done draining and make sure to put a new washer with the bolt so oil won’t leak.
Final step, just refill the engine oil with recommended oil used by mini cooper and you are all set to go. This oil change will probably cost you at about $50 if you do it yourself, but at the dealership they will charge you more than double. Mini Cooper parts sometimes can be hard to come by since dealerships are limited. In short, this is how to change the oil on a Mini Cooper S 2007.
