Review on πŸ”§ Steelman 27mm Low Profile Oil Filter Wrench Socket for Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Mini, Kia, Nissan, and More - 3/8-Inch Drive - Shop Now! by Darius Early

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits a 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman Turbo/S but has been pre-rusted and falls off the oil filter bracket easily.

Mini Cooper Clubman Turbo/ S from 2008. Fits over the upper oil filter bracket housing but slips off very easily. Arrived today and the grate is already in the 6-point range. Let me tell you, if you're using this on a mini, your best bet is to have a 3/8, 12" socket extension, preferably with a flex ratcheting head. The Mini packs a lot of detail into a small space, best to rev it up and out of the engine. It's no heavier than the Sidney metal types and could probably use a 27mm key end as well. On my Mini the oil filter is under the coolant resistance but with an overhead oil separator and there is no need to reach under the car except once a year to change the oil plug. This saves me a lot of money and allows me to use better filters and oil by doing it myself.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
