The MINI Maintenance System also includes an
option to set service reminders for the following
state-specific mandatory vehicle inspections,
including:
Vehicle safety inspection; and/or
Emissions test
The corresponding interval data for these inspections
can be inputted into the MINI Maintenance System
by a service provider; they are not determined by the
vehicle.
For your convenience, you may also wish to have your
authorized MINI dealer perform the work necessary
to fulfill these state inspection requirements in your
area concurrent with the maintenance services
specified above when possible.
Should you request more frequent maintenance
service than is indicated by the MINI Maintenance
System during the coverage period, the cost of these
services will not be covered by the MINI
Maintenance Program.
SERVICE DATA — REMOTE CONTROL KEY
Maintenance service task status information for your
MINI vehicle is continually updated and stored in
your remote control key.
Your authorized MINI dealer can access this data and
consult with you about applicable service procedures
and tasks for your vehicle.
Therefore, always provide your service consultant
with the most recent remote control key that was
used to operate the vehicle when servicing your
vehicle at a MINI dealer.
VEHICLE STORAGE
Disconnecting the battery during periods of
long-term vehicle storage will interrupt the
calculation of time-dependent maintenance services.
In this situation, MINI recommends that you have all
your time-based maintenance services, such as brake
fluid, engine oil and cabin microfilter, brought up to
the correct date by an authorized MINI dealer.
ENGINE OIL
2018 model year vehicles are factory-filled with:
MINI approved fully synthetic oil for gasoline
engines
Engine oil should be changed when the vehicle’s
engine is at operating temperature.
If an engine oil service is being performed or you
need to add engine oil between changes, please refer
to the Owner’s Manual for the recommended engine
oil for your MINI vehicle.
LONG-TERM RATED FLUIDS AND OILS
The following systems and assemblies are factory-
filled with long-term rated fluid and oil; fluid
replacement is only necessary when repairs are being
performed (unless otherwise noted):
Engine cooling system (antifreeze/coolant)
Automatic and manual transmissions
All-wheel drive transfer cases (except when
indicated by the vehicle)
REGULAR CHECKS — VEHICLE

information contained in this booklet, MINI
recommends that you regularly check (when
refueling, for example), and address when necessary,
the following items:
Washer fluid level

Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional
