MINI Cooper Maintenance Schedule Service Recommendations

Keeping up to date with your Mini Cooper’s maintenance is important to keep it running in good shape, increasing its life and preventing more expensive repairs in the future. The most important things in a Mini Cooper’s maintenance timeline are oil changes, engine inspection, and transmission inspection. Other things to consider are services such as tire inspection and alignment.

Mini Cooper Oil Change

It is recommended you change the oil on your Mini Cooper every 15,000 miles, specifically with Mobil 1 or Castrol Synthetic oil. Also change the air filter when it show signs of too much dirt and you are noticing symptoms like a misfiring engine, unusual noises, or reduced fuel economy.

Once you’re done with the oil change, it is important to inspect the interior cabin filter, brake pads, rotors, and the parking brake. Make sure they are all in good shape. If too much rust is visible then it is time to consider replacement. Also, it is recommended to grease the wheel hubs, and clean brake pad contact points. Finally, if you are doing the oil change yourself, always make sure to set an interval, so you can know when you next oil change is due. The Haus BMW & Mini Cooper service center will always provide you with a interval sticker after an oil change.
