    Crooked hour glass shaped boutique cartridge filter

    I should have mentioned, the inner 1/4 inch of the OEM hole is soft and easily deflects to form a seal on the mount Paul

    Crooked hour glass shaped boutique cartridge filter

    In my case, the Mini Cooper S has only small tubes at either end , (cap and base) to hold the filter. On the left Puro L15465, on the right BMW OEM . The core is essential according to MINI.

    Crooked hour glass shaped boutique cartridge filter

    Back in March of '03 I had this same problem with my Mini S. No center core in the Puro shown , when the Mini Cooper S OEM had one. Back then, I got only the run-around from Purolator. Only from the dearler since Paul

    Mini Cooper

    Sorry I didn't see this sooner. A lot of info and how-to's on many of the MINI sites. One item that is sometimes missed.......MINI has 2 filter set-ups. Almost random which you will get. Some have the internal assembly for the filter and some don't! If you do not have the internal parts, make...

    SHO Oil

    For the filter, it depends on whether it is a 5sp or automatic. Oversize is Ok on the 5 spd. but not enough room on the automatic since the motor is moved forward. It will contact the radiator. You should be reading Shotimes.com

    Supercharger oil - alternative??

    As a long time owner of a Thunderbird Super Coupe, I can say that many owners are using Redline power steering fluid with no problems.( recomended by Redline originally). Funny that a GM dealer was charging so much, T Bird owners go to GM for the original stuff since Ford is so outrageous...

    What happened here?

    Well ,I did get opinions Consider.... the car has all of 5500 on it now, dirt and clog are not issues. The great thing about elements, there is no hiding! The only way to install incorrectly is backward or cross thread the canister, neither of which happened. In talking with Purolator it seems...

    What happened here?

    The main issue with the filters was not one of cost, but rather availability. There are only about 70 MINI dealers in the US, and many owners are quite a distance away. OEMs are $7.40 at my dealer BUT are reported to top $15 at some. OEM is IN. Paul

    What happened here?

    The Filter pictured is a Purolator L15465 aftermarket replacement type. The OEM did have a plasiic cage internally, but this one had nothing inside. The only markings on the OEM were BMW, but my guess would be a Mann. I did compare before installation and both were physically the same height...

    What happened here?

    Hello all, reading for a while but now have one I need opinions on. Pictured is a L15465 Purolator from an '03 MINI S. Element in a canister style (BMW). The OEM looked perfect at 2K, this one followed and went 3K. Anyone ever see this happen before? thanks Paul
