How to check the oil level on your MINI COOPER.
Using the dipstick sounds like a no brainer. But on these cars it can be tricky and give you a false reading. I'll show you how to do it correctly.

----
-Make sure the engine is NOT running.
-Up to 2015 they all use 5-W30 Full Synthetic oil. (non diesel motors)
-If you have over 80,000 miles or are burning oil , you can use a thicker oil ( 5-W40)
-If you do oil changes every 6,000 miles and don't overheat it. It will last a very long time.
-ALWAYS CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL ! It's easy and cheap insurance .
-Some good TOP-quality full synthetic oil brands are ; LIQUI-MOLY , MOTUL, Castrol-Edge, AMSOIL.
( some oil brands advertise they are full synthetic even though they are not, they are just a blend. Even the factory BMW and MINI oil is a blend made by pennzoil )
