what stops the two way blue anodised union leaking when it's screwed into the aluminium billet filter housing? The early type unions on A Series engines had thread lock already on the threads to stop oil travelling back up. Also would this fit an A Series as opposed to A+? I can't see why not. Any advice would be great.
Believe it was put there so the oil could bypass the filter if it became clogged and was causing a restriction but the problem was then it would sent unfiltered oil through the engine which could also do damage. Either way of you change oil and replace the filter regularly you will be fine
As Harry says below. It's best to change the oil and filter frequently on a Mini. We tend to oil change between race meetings, or a couple of times a year on the road.
Kinda spooky we both posted oil cooler videos today. 😂
What are the chances eh!! We've been making up the hoses this week, so it seemed a good opportunity.

Does anyone run two sandwich plates on top of eachother and then oil filter
Will a Saab 9-3 TiD benefit with a upgrade Oil Cooler ?
Today i learned something!
Helpful as ever.
Noticed all 13 row coolers. Do you do a 8 row cooler, or not recommend?
You can fit a smaller one if you prefer - we've found 13 row is ideal for competition. If unsure, rig up an oil temp gauge to keep an eye on things.
So you don’t need the oil bypass at all in the filter housing?
Can you explain a little more the issues around them in the existing units
Cheers 👍
