Remember to use synthetic motor oil.
Many feel the factory interval is too long and they change their oil and filter once if not twice between the recommended interval.
We recommend you change the engine oil more frequently than the factory recommendation. Turbochargers on the 2nd generation MINIs seemed to have more trouble-free miles when the oil is changed more frequently and we suspect the same will hold true for the 3rd generation F model MINIs. We suggest 5000-7500 mile oil change interval.
MINI recommends:
- Regularly check the engine oil level after refueling
- FULL SYNTHETIC motor oil with API SM or superior grade specification
- BMW longlife-01 or BMW Longlife-01 FE
- Viscosity Grades SAE 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40, AND 5W-30
- NO oil additives
Dispose of the used oil and filter properly, please! And wipe that oil off the driveway before you track it into the house!
If you are performing the oil change, you will need the following tools:
- This 32mm socket for the oil filter housing
- A 13mm socket for the oil filter housing drain plug
- A 17mm socket for the engine oil drain plug
- An a ratchet, extension, and maybe a universal joint
Torque values:
- Oil Filter Housing 25Nm or 18.4 ft-lbs
- Filter Housing Oil Drain Plug 5NM or 3.7 ft-lbs or 44.5 INCH-lbs
- Oil Pan Drain Plug 20Nm or 14.8 ft-lbs
