When to Change 2019 Mini Cooper Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2019 Mini Cooper? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about 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.”

Mini recommends having your 2019 Mini Cooper’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. 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 vehicle, or notice excess 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, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mini Cooper. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
