B48 oil filter
It looks like one of the down sides to using a Mini transverse mounted engine in an S2 is the oil filter location. Do you have to remove the piece of plastic above the rear of the motor and move/unclip two bundles of wires above it to get to the filter? Free oil changes for 3 years but I'm planning ahead.

Snarky answer to follow: I started to get a picture but then I realized you don't know what you're talking about. If you haven't done it then you don't know any more than I do. If you have done it you would know the answer.

Edit: Make sure to follow the oil filter housing cap torque spec to prevent leaks. Last edited by Sindarin; 02-04-2018 at 10:17 PM.. |

Engine layout and the fact that a variant of the engine is used transversely in the Mini has nothing to do with the filter location. All of the modular 3, 4 & 6 cylinder “B” engines primarily developed for BMW vehicles but also used in Minis have the oil filter at the back when used longitudinally, along with the reversed Vanos system. No problem in accessing it if you follow the correct documentation (as Sindarin has posted).
