Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2016 Cooper Countryman’s oil should be changed according to Mini’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Cooper Countryman in the above table. Outside of Mini-recommended oil change intervals, your Cooper Countryman may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mini if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.
