Need more info about 2013 Mini Cooper oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.
Your 2013 Cooper’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 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 car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mini recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mini Cooper. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2013 Mini Cooper motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Mini has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2013 Cooper. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Cooper’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Cooper by taking into account your driving preferences, and mileage.
Wondering what motor oil brands you can find at Firestone Complete Auto Care? Your Cooper engine deserves the very best, which is why we only stock the best! Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Mini Cooper oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. There are plenty of motor oils on the market today, so why do we prefer these brands? They are tested and trusted.
