An easy to do but super important aspect of owning a car is keeping up with services and maintenance! In this Video I show you how to do an oil change on your #Mini Cooper S R56. This process should be pretty similar to all Mini Models of the second generation.

Brothers, are you all here to learn?🎉

Honestly - yes. I’ve just done the infamous “Oil Cooler” leak repair.. so an oil change makes sense. But, I stayed around for the obvious other reason as bad as that may seem 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 .. 💁🏻 thanks.. namaste 🙏

Nice video, the oil filter is a pain and the oil filter housing leaks over time too - I just change the oil filter every two years to avoid having to mess around with it frequently.

Don’t forget, the Castrol Edge oils have new packaging. Rectangular now but the oil stays the same. It doesn’t say Titanium anymore but it is still in it.

I bought an r53. Previous owner screwed the oil filter tight! I’m unable to unscrew it even with a breaker bar!!! Any suggestions??

Like I did - use an impact wrench :/

That does not look like the same engine as I have in my R56, did you swap?

This is the N18, maybe you have the N14 :)

Is it normal for my R56 to consume oil over time? Like I have to top up my engine oil after 10k kilometers.

@KiaraShifts 9 күн бұрын

Pretty much normal yes! I check my oil level monthly. As long as you don't see blue smoke coming from your exhaust it's likely not too bad. I'd recommend doing an oil and filter change at least every 15k km anyways.

@@Outsourcer 15k is Mini's recommendation. It is also why I wrote "at least". But I agree, I do it every year which is usually every 8k km.
