Proper maintenance is critical to the longevity of your MINI. Always perform your regular routing maintenance! Use this Application Guide to see which filters fit your Mini.
Even with the improvements with the modern engine oils and the tighter tolerances of today's engines, the oil still gets contaminated - this is a byproduct of the internal combustion engine.
When a vehicle is used under severe driving conditions, the engine oil and filter should be changed more often. Examples of severe driving conditions that affect oil change frequency include:
- Repeated short distance driving
- Driving in extremely cold weather
- Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
- Repeated trailer towing
Perform your maintenance accordingly!
