Primer on filter technology used in the K&P reusable Mini Cooper Oil Filter
Created: October 11, 2011
Frequently, the canister cover will be very difficult to break free. Use a breaker bar with CAUTION! You may need a low profile' socket due to the limited space available.
If you loosen the filter canister cover enough to break the seal, it will help drain the oil from the filter as you drain the oil pan. Less mess later!
When replacing the O-ring, save the old one just in case (will explain later).
When replacing the O-ring on the canister cover, make sure you lubricate the O-ring with PLENTY of fresh oil before you install it, and lubricate again after it is in place. If you fail to do this, the O-ring will bunch up and cause a leak!

Whether it is a simple filter replacement or a complete Intake Kit, these products are 'bolt-on' solutions with no permanent modifications to the Mini and completely reversible to stock form. Intake upgrades are all about improving the flow of filtered air into the engine. More air means stronger and more efficient combustion and the net result is more power!
Intake upgrades are typically more noticeable in the upper rpm range where the stock restrictive intake causes power to fall off. Intake upgrades will typically move the power band closer to redline.
