Mini Cooper 2008 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Mini Cooper 2008 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Mini Cooper 2008: What is the oil change interval?

    THE system is the same as used on BMWs and works fine. With today's engine technology and modern oils, there's no problem with the longer service intervals. I would stick to the recommended intervals and I wouldn't have a non-dealer mechanic service it while it's under warranty.
