Should be a great series to help folks out! Your buddy got lucky running that engine with low oil. Keep up the good work. 👍
Last time there was less than a quart. I am enjoying the experiment. Haha Have a good weekend
Look forward to the series
Every other day, until they are all posted.
Nice video 👍🏻 I can tell you put a lot of work in this one.
Blood, no sweat and tears Brian. lol
Last time I checked, I didn't find dealer repair manuals for my son's mini. Not sure if it is because BMW won't share info or because Alldata or Mitchell don't bother with European imports. You can find them on ebay but access to TSB's is always reassuring in case there are common fixes for known issues that arise later. Nice work, Glen!
I know right? There are plenty of TSB's that's for certain. When are you going to fire up the camera? Been a while. 😉
@@ozzstars_cars Several 'half done' projects, ha ha.
Great video ozz
I bought a Mighty Vac pump to use on oil changes. It would evacuate 98% of the oil from the dipstick hole. With the proper size and type socket the filter removal is a snap and clean.
That's one way to do it, removing the drain bolt.is easier and more efficient for me. Thanks for the comment
Great video thank you! Maybe my mini was altered but the oil pan volt was a 13mm the 1/2 would keep slipping. You video was super helpful I very much appreciate it.
Hey Gary glad the video was helpful! -Glen
I've worked on a few Mini's over the years. The first one took me a while to figure out how to open the hood. Since they put the lever on the wrong side of the car.
Yes, and the first gen has the DLC on the passenger side as well.
Cute little car ☺️ Great job. Looking forward to the series! I need to do one myself lol I'm way behind!
Time is limited and priorities come first. 👍
Nice work Glen, those mini's are pretty tight quarters under the hood.
Yup, no false advertisement, mini. ;-)
When you said a five part series, I was thinking wow just for an oil change really? 😁
Yeah now that would be cure insomnia! lol
Good video ! I like those little cars !!
Thanks Norm!
Oh man just a tad low on oil 😁... great job bud I bet she was smiling after a good service 👍👍👍
Purring like a kitten, the car of course. 😁
🤣🤣🤣
Did you trade in a Corvette for this Mini??? man that would be a deal! great job as always Glen! OK you didn't trade it. damn!
LOL Hey Mike you lmow I wouldn't be able to handle all that 1.6L supercharged power! How's your Camaro doing?
@@ozzstars_cars Camaro is waiting for SPRING!
He’s trading the Mini in for a Moped come spring time ! Glen says he wants to Feel that wind in his hair
The thermostat housings on
these warp and leak. I found one made of aluminum on eBay. The Radiator fan resistor fails and you can replace it with a 10 dollar resistor on the fan wiring instead of having to take the whole damn thing out. I changed the auto trans fluid to Mobil 1 synthetic at 45K and now 75 K and no problems.
Koni FSDs, Wilwood Big Brakes all around, bigger sway bars, 15% reduction supercharger pulley, 225/50/16 all around frame braces underneath and on the shock towers and a bunch of stuff I have forgotten about on my 2006 MCSa makes mine way different than stock. It was also ordered with every option but JCW and Aero body kit. Kept it to 35k new out the door.
Bought the MINI when I was 51 yrs old and it is just way too tight for my old ass all the time now. Bought a 04 base Corvette with 45 K on it that was super clean. Put z51 bars on it for the curves and that is all. The Corvette seems like a soft luxury ride to me and goes around corners flat. Was thinking to sell the Mini but It is still fun as hell when I want to get a little frisky. Also nobody would want to pay me what it is really worth. I had sheepskins on top of the leather since new and the seats look it. Like new.
Almost forgot the Alta cat back exhaust. Also new headliner and new tint last spring.
I like my Corvettes. 😁
@@ozzstars_cars ya me too
good job. Too much oil leads to high cholesterol. Those Brits are onto something with that oil burner
Yeah, the Germans must feel the same way. BMW for a healthy low oil diet haha
LOL - pretty tough little engine for no oil . 5 parts series , now we're talking !!!!!
Yeah my lawn tractor has a 1.6L lol Thanks Steve!
You tha MANN
Haha you are The Man!
5.1 quarts cause that’s a nice handy number to keep in stock
Yeah seriously. Lets hope .1qts is still in the crankcase after draining. haha
Cool thanks for video
👍
Oh boy, my Corvette is an 05 with original parts. I guess I'm going to be busy. My goodness, he's lucky the engine didn't seize up. I'll be back.
Plenty to do. Have fun
Good old pennzoil
Good new oil. ;-)
@@ozzstars_cars lol I ment the brand brother
@@AntonioClaudioMichael I know.
@@ozzstars_cars smartass lol
5 plus quarters. But only has 1.5 quarter sounds to me the mini is burning some oil pretty badly. Thanks for the video. Mr.
I use that same oil in my GMC Canyon duramax diesel
It uses Euro oil?
@@ozzstars_cars Sure enough. It calls for 5W-30 Dexos2. Weird, huh?
Lol at love stories
Really? thanks.
New blood!
Maybe get another 20k miles or so? Haha
20 thousand miles I have gotten on mobile one with there oil but I dont do that much first time just was broke and couldnt change it I also got 56 thousand miles off one oil change on castro magnatech but only did that once was doing oil testing
Wow!
@@ozzstars_cars and oil came out still honey color just slightly black and came out flowing really well but oil change still had to be done needed to test the oil
My 2006 MCS automatic burns no oil at 75000 and has had 2 oil changes a year since new and the trans fluid and filter changed even though the dealer says it is not done.
Wow 37,500 miles between oil changes, your car is working magic!
2 oil changes a year Oz
@@andrewdomenitzdmd ohh gotcha 2 a year, I misread that. My bad.
@@ozzstars_cars No biggie I thought you misread it. i bought those stick on things that look like carbon fiber for my visors from you a while back.
Mini dealership put a gorilla on one of my oil changes way back when. The oil plug and the filter were on so tight my regular mechanic tried and said he was afraid to put on more pressure. Took it to Mini and they got them off but did not write it up on their books and changed my oil for free. For the first 3 yrs 36000 miles they gave free maintenance. They did one and I did two because of their idiotic 15000 mile interval. When I asked for transmission service they said it was lifetime lubed and I knew they had lost their fucking minds. I figured out how to do it myself and it is absolutely needed no matter what they say.
A 2012 Mini came in the other day and the oil canister location is in such a terrible spot!
It's a little snug back there.
Lol at duky
Why are they still using those canister filters? My G/F’s Rav 4 has one and its more money than my truck’s filter
and a bigger mess to remove and clean out.
Most manufacturers are going to the cartridge type filters but some still have cans.
An electric cooling fan underneath the car and pointed at the road? Why do I think part 6 will be "how to change the fan that dies every other month".
They are known to fail, go figure. 😉
Matt Heere that can is pretty strong mine worked for 135000 milers
My 2006 has a shroud like contraption which gets air from under the bumper.
Omg it's like 3 and a half quarts low
Yup...more like 4.5 qts low up until a few days ago.
Out of curiosity, does this have separate oil for the supercharger or is there an oil feed with the common oil pan sump?
Supercharger oil is separate. It has to be removed to drain and fill.
Sounds like that would be a chore.
@@mattcrow5183 it is much more involved than a standard oil change. 😉
I thought those cars got thrown away at time for an oil change?
They don't take up much landfill space. lol
Driving around with 1/2 quart of oil. 🤣😂 so where did it go?
Good question. No major leaks, and the plugs didn't look foiled so I would say past the rings over 7k miles. Doesn't smoke though on cold start.
Ozzstar I sure hope they know how to use the dip stick! On the plus side, no need for oil changes anymore.
@@dateatorjr9671 I did show the owner how to check the oil when she came to pick up the car. 😁
Most Mini Coopers run on MINImum oil capacity..
Good one! Haha. And the screen name though 😂🤣😂
Ozzstar Early years of TH-cam haha
I hope in parts 2-7 you use a claw hammer 🔨
You won't believe it Rusty but my 11 year old daughter bought me a beautiful Estwing ball peen for my birthday last week. :-) I may have to auction off the claw hammer. haha
