The Right Engine Oil for Classic Mini Engines

At Mini Mania, we offer two factory recommended Engine Oils for your Classic Mini. We hope they serve you well.
How Often Should I Change The Engine Oil in my Classic Mini?
The recommendation for changing engine oil in a classic Mini depends on the specific model, engine type, and other factors. However, in general, it is recommended that you change the engine oil in a classic Mini every 3,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.
If your classic Mini is driven frequently or under harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, dusty environments, or high-performance driving, you may need to change the oil more frequently to maintain optimal engine health. On the other hand, if your classic Mini is driven infrequently or only for short distances, you may be able to stretch the oil change interval out to 6,000 miles or even longer.
It's important to consult your owner's manual or a trusted mechanic who is familiar with the specific needs of your classic Mini to determine the best oil change schedule for your vehicle. Regular oil changes are critical to keeping your engine running smoothly and extending its lifespan.
