Hey guys. I'm just wondering where you guys are purchasing your oil filters from either online, o'reily, or from the dealership? I'm also not sure which part number i need for my 2011 MCS hardtop. Any help would be great. Thanks!

 

They really are not that expensive from the dealership. But go to Detroit tuned. Chad has a 5 pack for a good price, even though I shop at O'Riellys I would not get filters for them because of the way MINI filters are.

 

The best price I have found is my dealer - Cincinnati MINI

 

prestige mini on ebay has decent prices.

 

If you have more than one dealer in your area, compare prices. I have a couple and one dealer is significantly cheaper than the others.

 

I think I ordered mine from Outmotoring.com. If you order online make sure to order a few at a time.

 

I did ebay and got 3 for $22.

I order mine here because he doesn't usually add any more shipping when you are like me and are ordering something aftermarket from him all the time. So might as well toss a few filters in =]

 

Ok, you bought a new car, and you are asking about cheap filters? Really?

With Mini's stellar reliability, the last thing I'd want to do it give Mini another excuse to possibly deny a warranty claim on the engine by saving a couple of $ on filters.

 

Check with your dealer's parts department - My dealer (MINI of Ontario) offers club members a nice discount. If not, as others have already mentioned, show some support for one of the sponsoring merchants. I've gotten great service from Outmotoring and Detroit Tuned.

 

Just to be clear, i meant OEM oil filter in my OP.

 

Yes only get OEM filters, many times the aftermarket filters don't fit correctly.
