Can someone tell me where the oil filter is located on the 2011 mini s? found some youtube videos but they must have changed the location again!!

thanks

 

Right under the radiator expansion tank. There is one (or two) screws holding it in place, remove these and rotate it . You will see the oil filter below.

 

Is it supposed to look like this?

I pulled the resevoire away but there is nothing there. I am confused on this one.

 

I found it. Not directly under the radiator overflow but below and to the left. Did not have good enough light to see the first time.

Good to go. thanks!

 

there's a diy post for mcs auto here under diy section. granted it's for a 2010 but the it's pretty much the same for 2011. i did mine following the post. the only difference was that the coolant reservoir tank could not be twisted and moved out of the way to get to the oil filter - it took some maneuvering to change it. good luck

 

Finally found it tucked away just to the left under the overflow. Needed better light.

Sure was a @#$@#$ to take out and replace. you would think those genius engineers could make something like that easy to get to since you replace it so often.

At least i have it now. thanks
