Technical Tips
Low Oil Pressure – MINI Cooper
If you see your oil pressure light register LOW after a filter and oil
change… don't panic. It probably just means that you or your mechanic forgot
something. Your MINI Cooper's oil filter has a cartridge that slips over a
perforated center core that is attached to the inside of the oil filter cap.
This core is spring loaded and is intended to add pressure to the filter
when installing that seals it against the base. This must NOT be discarded!
If it is thrown out with the old filter, the new filter won't seal properly
and you'll register low oil pressure at idle – a dangerous condition that
can seriously damage your engine. So remember…don't throw this baby out with
the bad oil! (Hey, if a simple oil change were really simple, it wouldn't be
any fun, would it?)
