Mini recommends changing your 2020 Cooper’s oil 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 knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.
