Got this for my 2005 Mini Cooper S. It works great.

Be sure to follow these rules to avoid an expensive mistake. (Other cars are probably similar to the Mini Cooper)

1. Get the appropriate socket to remove the filter housing. The Lisle one shown works great.

2. Loosen the filter housing to relieve the vacuum. This will help drain the oil from the filter. You will need to back the housing off until the o-ring unseats to allow air in.

3. Do NOT wipe oil out from inside the housing after removing the old filter. The bypass valve may break.

4. The filter is unidirectional. See which end fits the cap and which end fits into the engine.

5. Push the filter onto the cap then remove.

6. CAREFULLY push the filter into the car until it seats.

7. Install the cap (with new o-ring) and torque accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Received item in a reasonable time. Obviously works fine. Will re-order in a couple of months when I need to change my mini's oil again.
