Another Oil Change Question

Do any of you fine folks know of a place to order oil filters for a MINI Cooper? No one around here has even heard of a MINI and I can't get my closest dealer to call back (still haven't spoken with a live person.) I'd appreciate a website or any advice... Thanks a bunch.

I'm curious about an online/mail-order source for filters also. I tried asking a while back but the thread died.

I suppose you could just find the Mini dealer with the lowest price, wherever they were, and have them mail it to you as a last resort. I've heard as low as $7.50 on this site. I think that was dollars not pounds. Our local Mini dealer wants $10.

My next oil change is a while off but I will be looking in the meantime.

Cheers

I just paid $11/each for three today. Don't forget, every 10k is on them, including the cost of the filter.
So in my case, since I bought two, I've got one for now at 5k, they've got the 10k, I've got the 15k, they've got the 20k. I'll need to buy my next one at 25k, that's at least two years away.
I haven't changed oil in my own car for awhile now, but since I'm running Red Line at $7.50/qt, I need to save a little money somehow. Plus, get more intimate with my car
