Mini Cooper Oil Change
It's important to get the oil changed in your Mini Cooper regularly because otherwise, the engine can build up a harmful sludge, regardless of the age of the car or its mileage. It is imperative to have the oil changed regularly in your Mini Cooper. Still, some cars need oil changes more often, depending on your driving habits and the environmental conditions that your vehicle is exposed to.
On average, a Mini with a service indicator will count from 7500 to 15000 miles before an oil change is suggested. Those without an indicator will generally top out at 10000 miles. These recommendations are given under normal driving conditions. But, you may need them sooner if your driving is not "regular."
For example, do you ever drive in extreme weather conditions or along rough, muddy roads? Do you make lots of short trips or have to constantly stop and start in traffic? If so, those conditions aren't considered normal, and you'll need to get your oil changed quicker than expected.
Engine Sludge
The engine sludge that builds up is a thick substance that will clog the engine passages. Standard engine use will create gasses, vapor, fuel fragments, and acids within it. These elements result from combustion and will rest in the motor oil. A regular oil change will eliminate them, but failing to do so will cause them to combine and form the sludge as mentioned above.
The build-up of sludge is exceptionally harmful to a Mini's engine and becomes increasingly difficult to remove the more of it there is. Having sludge within your engine can show the following symptoms:
• A decrease in engine performance and a reduction in fuel efficiency
• Noticeably increase the noise of the engine
• Cooling system warnings due to the oil's inability to properly cool down
• Reduced engine lubrication due to restricted oil passages and filters
