The oil warning light on your Mini Cooper’s dashboard will come on when it’s time for an oil change. The light will also come on if the oil temperature is too high or the oil level or pressure is too low.
MINI recommends that you have an authorized MINI dealer perform all time-based maintenance services. The precise MINI Cooper oil change frequency guidelines are in your owner’s manual. However, you may need to change your oil more often if you regularly do heavy towing.
