Nice! Just ordered one thanks to the vid good thing I saw this vid before I did my oil change
I like the magnet idea
Nice vid, I just removed my mocal oil cooler, it’s not effected the overall running temp of my car, and frees up some room to fit my charge cooler radiator.
MED stuff is AWESOME
Top tip-Since the oil filter housing is vertical, you can fill it with oil prior to fitting it. Helps with the prime on start up.
Thanks for the tip, I didn't call that out in my video but I did actually do it before installing the filter. You can see it right about 12:00 . Great tip though and thanks for mentioning it because I forgot. :-)
Classic Mini DIY When I ran hot minis back in the day, we replaced the bucket under the oil pressure relief spring, with a cv ball, from the ball bearing.
One thing that can happen is if debris gets to the bucket it can stick open. Less likely with a ball and the oil pressure raises slightly.
The oil pump doesn't suck the oil through the filter!
The magnet is a brilliant idea. You can get a magnetic oil drain sump plug.
All the factory sump plugs have a magnet in them however there are replacements with much stronger magnets. The drawback of the mini sump plug is that due to its location, metal particulate often reaches the oil pickup before it gets caught by the sump magnet.
I think David buzzard had a section in one of his books regarding oil cooling. From what I recall is the older mineral oil of the time required cooling on the Cooper style motors. Depending of the type of oil you use now so long as it has zinc for for the tappers a good semi or full synthetic 20/50w might not need as much cooling and will stand up to the job. Anyone else has any thought on this? The MED boys might have a good answer
😂 damm auto correct “Vizard”
For a general road car you're unlikely to need a cooler, depending on the ambient temperature. For competition cars running sustained high RPM levels it's still a must. The best bet, if you're unsure, is to run an oil temperature gauge and see how warm it's getting before deciding what's best.
Perhaps you should fit an oil temperature gauge
I could not figure out what size of those adapters fittings I needed and I didn't want to pull the old one out just to check so I ended up buying one of each. Naturally I forgot to order the fancy little washer with the seal in it.. I'll likely just put the old one on for now and replace it whenever I place my next order, she's parked for the winter now anyway.
Yeah finding those adapters is a pain in the ass. You can use a copper washer too in the setup. Will work perfect.
@@classicminidiy I'll give that a shot, thanks. I have plenty of them, hopefully I have one roughly the right size.
Is there a drop in oil pressure from the increase in flow from the larger pipe?
Why re use an old $3 filter? Just install a new one.
Because it’s a 3 week old filter and has less than a mile on it. Haha if I can ever get this on the road to run everything in I’ll change it right after that
