Sometimes one is enough... ;)

Motoringfile has some basic how-to mod & maintenance guides, including the oil change. For the latter, scroll down this page to the "Performance/Other" section.

The advice on the Bentley manual is right on, though. For a DIY'er, that book is pure gold. Yes, it's $100, but it's thicker than the freaking yellow pages, and full of very detailed and clear instructions on all kinds of things, from the simple to the complex. It is absolutely indispensable, and you'll very likely make up the purchase price in saved labor fees alone. Go here, and buy it right now.

I feel bad coming into a forum and directing people away from it, but at this point, this MINI forum isn't what I would call huge :embarrasm
