I notice a lot of websites selling Genuine Mini oil filters with little to no aftermarket filters available. I was browsing in the local Autozone a few days ago and found that STP makes a filter to fit the N18, comes with the rubber O-Ring and a new crush washer for the drain plug. It only cost about $5!!! so is there something about the genuine mini filter that makes it so popular or is it a bunch of hoop-la!?!?! I am out of warranty so don't care about that and coming up on a scheduled oil change. Side note, I will be running stage 2 as of next week and changing oil on a 5k interval.

 

Get the genuine MINI one or one of our aftermarkets. Some of the other off brand filters tend to lint and clog the Vanos. Part # 11427622446
