Some Minis experience problems with their turbocharges in the form of oil leaks. If this is not caught and repaired, you could do extensive damage to the engine. It is important to check the oil at least once per month on Minis, especially those with longer oil change intervals.
MINI
Maintenance
You can minimize unexpected breakdowns and keep your Mini’s performance just as it was on the day you bought it by having MB Automotive Services do the preventative maintenance in a timely manner. Your owner’s manual will tell you when you should do most things on the preventative maintenance list. If you no longer have an owner’s manual or the manufacturer did not list something, you can call the shop with your Mini’s year, model and VIN, and we can look up that information for you. Depending on the model, year, and engine, maintenance intervals vary.
Preventative maintenance and common intervals include:
- Oil and filter change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
- Tune-up every 3 years or 36,000 miles.
- Alignment every year or, if driving on poorly maintained roads or gravel roads.
