2012 Mini Cooper S oil change
Where should I find the filter housing for this? I took a brief look at the engine and could not locate it when I got home. Any help appreciated.

Look to the driver side and below the turbocharger and intake pipe.
You'll see the housing cap with a 27mm (1-1/16") hex-nut on it.

Wait, this isn't the infamous 36mm?

R56 MINIs have 27mm.
There are several detailed how-to guides on NAM for oil changes with pictures.

I put one together a while ago. It's linked in my signature. I based it on my Cooper but it's very similar to the S.
