Pricing on this item through Amazon is much better than through the dealer.

It fits properly in my 2009 Mini Cooper and is easy to install.

When it comes time to change again, I'll go with OEM Mini. This Mann doesn't fit as snug in the filter holder as the OEM, very loose on my R56.

This does not look like the factory filter but it fits and seems to be working fine for my 2007 Mini Cooper S. I'll know in 10,000 miles if it works as well as the factory unit.

What can i say: Mini Cooper S 2007 OEM filter, so the price difference with the original is just for the logos of BMW

Like: This oil filter was a perfect filter replacement for the Mini OEM filter.

Included was the O-Ring, which was a perfect fit for my Mini filter canister.

Dislike: The OEM filter contains a new crush washer for the oil pan. The Mann-Filter does not include this washer.

Reviews of Valvoline MaxLife NextGen 10W-40 High Mileage Motor Oil - 1 Quart

Valvoline MaxLife NextGen 10W-40 High Mileage Motor Oil - 1 Quart Bottle

I have used Valvoline's Max life in my 30 year old pickup truck for years now, I was impressed after the second oil change a few years back when my old cork gaskets seemed to expand back to their original sealing ability and my "oil leaking" decreased by a noticeable amount. The price for this "six pack" was superb compared to purchasing locally, especially when coupled with the "Free Shipping" option.

CCW.

This stuff just came out and was a cheaper alternative to G-Oil. I picked it up locally for $2.99 a quart on sale at O'Reilly the first time, then through Amazon for $3.80ish a quart with subscribe and save. I used it in my sister's 2008 Honda Civic EX 5,000 oil change intervals. Works the same as regular oil, looks the same coming out., reduces dependence on foreign oil, sounds good enough for me to buy it. Oil analysis looked great also.

NextGen MaxLife is a good motor oil and at less than three dollars per quart it's a pretty good deal.

Honest reviews on Valvoline MaxLife NextGen 10W-40 High Mileage Motor Oil - 1 Quart

I've used Valvoline for over 30 years, and have never had an engine failure with Valvoline in the engine. I like the idea of recycling in a positive way. I've talked to Valvoline engineers at trade shows. I'm not a chemical or petroleum engineer, but information I get from the Valvoline people documents a deliberate, intensive process to distil, clean, and revitalize the oil to where it's better than new. When I change the oil, it comes out looking much cleaner than that of friends using other oils. I feel I'm saving money, and yet treating my engines better than with alternative brands. I highly recommend this oil, and use it in my kids cars too.

it's oil can't really say much...

car motor oil rating

but when you do purchase oil at a local home store ..

make sure the rating is higher level ..

the rating system for oil goes by *API ABC rating or normally with only two letters.. * American Petroleum Industry*

last time i purchased oil at a store it was SJ so make sure it is higher than that..

so make sure you get a higher letter.. but always make sure you look what it declared the highest rating..

it does change quite often

Reviews of Red Line 11804 0W-20 Motor Oil - 1 Quart Bottle

Red Line 11804 0W-20 Motor Oil - 1 Quart Bottle
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I drive a 2002 Corolla. It is notorious for losing oil. After tons of research I discovered that the piston rings were poorly designed with too few and too small holes. This makes them susceptible to over heating and carbon deposits that plug them up. Redline oil has a very high flash point and doesn't leave carbon residue on the metal like other oils do. So although it won't solve an already existing problem (by itself), it does prevent the problem from progressing. I used to lose a quart of oil per tank of gas. Now, I don't lose any even after 7000 miles on the same oil.

Redline is one of the few oils (even among synthetics) that are ester based. Esters are cleaner and much more heat tolerant.Redline is expensive but if take extended drains into account, it becomes a lot more reasonable. They're a small American company who will take the time to answer any questions as well.

I use this oil (mixed with the 5W-20) in concert with this filter microGreen 101-1 Oil Filter which I consider to be the best filter on the market. They make an unbeatable combination in my opinion.

I believe Redline to be the best oil on the market.

Red Line Oil makes first class products within the oil industry. If you haven't done any research on them, you should. They are highly respected in the Racing world.

Our 2012 Honda Civic calls for 0w20 and recently crossed the 10,000 mile mark. Feeling that it's well "broken-in" I decided to make the permanent switch to Red Line. The additive package in this oil is very stout with high ZDDP and very high Moly content for an oil. The 1.8L engine in the Civic runs very smoothly with this oil. I have typically been stuck on 5,000 mile oil changes with over the counter synthetics, but now will run at least 7,500 miles on this oil. Most engines could likely go further than this as well.

I also love Red Line because they are a small independent company located in California. On top of that, their products are true synthetic oil(ester based). Not only is this a better oil, there is no foreign oil interest! The company is also very helpful. I've spoken with Dave and he's extremely helpful and will recommend products based on your needs. I will be using their D6 ATF next time I service the transmission. Also, I'll be switching our 2003 Corolla to their 0w30 and D4 ATF.

Note: This oil isn't officially licensed by the API due to the high ZDDP content(good thing) and also it's very expensive to get the license. This doesn't phase me though, the additive package and base stocks are superior to other oils in my opinion. Plus, in the VERY unlikely event your engine fails under warranty; the Magnuson-Moss warranty act protects you from your dealer denying a claim based on oil used. They would have to PROVE that the oil specifically caused the failure(highly unlikely).

This is a quality product at a great price. Very similar to what you can find in the auto parts stores, but the key difference is that this is the 14 flute version that will work on some Mercedes-Benz diesels as well as the 4.3L M113 engine.

I tried to find this wrench at all the local parts stores with no luck at all. They all can find them for the 3.0 and 3.5 all day long.

My 2000 GMC van runs because of Royal Purple products and love! She`s worth the extra few dollars ROYAL PURPLE!

There's really not much else to say about this product. Go on Youtube, look at the cut open reviews, look at the build process, and look at these things with 10k miles on them. 3k miles after a RP and oil change in my 03' matrix with 230,xxx miles on it, oil looks like new.

Best Deals for Royal Purple 10-47 Oil Filter

I have used Royal Purple products for over ten years. All my cars use nothing but RP from headlights to tailights:

Engine oil.

Transmission & differential fluids.

Wheel bearings.

Radiator additive (Ice).

And this RP filter. Best filter I've ever put on a vehicle. Yep, a bit pricey but figure this; buy a cheapo filter and replace it every 3000 miles or pay a bit more and replace it every 10,000 miles. Add to this the QUALITY of filtering and to me there's no contest; Royal Purple wins. With RP filters I find no "micro-shards" of worn metal in the oil when it's time to change it. Even on a new car, this filter sdeems to catch all the really fine particles. I'll never use another brand.

Came back to add/edit: The first vehicle I ever did a "complete Royal Purple make-over" was my 2000 GMC Sonoma truck. Before the fluid/lube changes I was getting 22 to 24 mpg. After changing it all out I immediately went to 26/27 mpg. This stuff just makes everything run smoother, and smoother means better mileage. Again, I'll never use another brand.

Honest reviews on Royal Purple 10-47 Oil Filter

It's an oil filter. I have no way of measuring how well it works compared to others. It's royal purple and I trust them to be the best.
