When to Change 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mini Cooper Countryman’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2013 Cooper Countryman’s oil should be changed according to Mini’s recommended oil change 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 knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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 at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mini Cooper Countryman. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2013 Mini Cooper Countryman Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Mini Cooper Countryman engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Cooper Countryman’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mini Cooper Countryman oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil 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? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mini Cooper Countryman oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mini Cooper Countryman oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Mini Cooper Countryman oil light illuminated? Your Mini Cooper Countryman oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my Cooper Countryman’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Mini Cooper Countryman oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
