Mini recommends changing your 2012 Cooper Countryman’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Cooper Countryman may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mini recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mini Cooper Countryman. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mini Cooper Countryman? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Mini Cooper Countryman engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mini Cooper Countryman oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mini exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mini Cooper Countryman oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mini Cooper Countryman oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my Mini Cooper Countryman oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Mini Cooper Countryman could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Cooper Countryman's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Mini Cooper Countryman, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
