Is this metal or plastic composite construction? Is it tough enough to remove the metal oil filter housing of a 2004 Mini Cooper?

It's like impact socket grade. I bought it for a Volvo. Don't know about Mini Coopers.

Metal. This little item has made removing my oil filter and fuel filter on my 05 Ford Diesel much much easier.

It is made of metal. I think it's a 36 MM socket but not impact wrench rated.

This is hard plastic not metal. Seems to work great though with no leaks or dripping. Descent quality! Good luck to you!

It appears to me to be heavy duty styrafoam attached to the interior of the metal. Go to their official website for more specific information. http://www.joraform.com/en/

Blades are metal; outer housing is very hard plastic. I clear an 8 car parking lot with it and it works and works and works like a champ.

It is aluminum but the fit is so tight on the filter that it's hard to get off once you remove it.

yes. 2010 and later 4/6 cylinder camrys use this oil filter housing. it is made of plastic. use caution when torqueing (18ft lbs recommended) They also sell a special tool to remove this cover.

Sorry for the long response time, I just looked at it and it seems to be the same "metal" as the old one. I ordered this for my daughter before xmas but managed to find a loose screw in the HDD when I opened it up. It's still working right now so the parts I ordered are kinda just in "limbo" for now. I will update how the install went once I do it. Hope this helps!

plastic with chrome finish has been on the car for several months ,it has a good fit and seams to be stronger than OE, a good by

It's not polished aluminum. It's a composite plastic, very durable. It's an OEM part.

The instructions given so far are for the new metal filter case. If you have the old plastic one, they are similar but as I remember the lower part was threaded on so you have to turn it several turns to remove it. These plastic ones are prone to cracking and leaking, and at one point Franke was replacing them free with metal ones (rather than pay for floor damage!); I don't know whether this is still true but Franke or your dealer could tell you.

The mount is metal, and the internals appear to be metal too. The external casing is plastic. The filter ring is plastic. The overall feel is very solid.

Forgive me but the flapper housing may not be made of plastic, as I mentioned it was in my initial post. From the picture it appears to be metal. (My old vent fan's exhaust was made of plastic--I confused the two.)

Metal. However, mine can't seem to take a C02 and seal, so it just empties the C02 right there.

It is plastic. I believe that Tonka replaced the metal with plastic many years ago probably for safety reasons as well as the weight. All in all The quality is good for a plastic truck!

Hey, I'm pretty sure it's metal. I bought it last summer, and i was also worried about the quality... I can tell you I still have it on my nissan maxima and it looks great. It was def worth the $$.

The one I bought is not chrome. That is more money. I got the plastic one. Broke the first time I changed the filter.Have to be careful. Get the grip gloves and it will be easier to open the housing.
