MINI MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
The MINI Maintenance System has been
designed as a reliable means of providing
maximum driving and operating safety –
and as cost-effectively as possible for you.
Please bear in mind that regular mainte-
nance is not only necessary for the safety
of your vehicle, but also plays a significant
role in maintaining the resale value of the
vehicle.
Service Interval Display
While conventional systems specify main-
tenance according to rigid distances driven,
the MINI Maintenance System takes
account of the operating conditions of the
vehicle, for distances can be driven in many
different ways:
From the point of view of maintenance,
60.000 miles (100.000 km) of short-
distance driving cannot be regarded in the
same way as 60.000 miles (100.000 km) of
long-distance highway travel.
The condition-based MINI Maintenance
System includes the Engine Oil Service and
Inspections I and II.
Determining the maintenance intervals
according to the actual use of the vehicle
covers every kind of operating situation.
People who drive very little – much less
than 6.000 miles (10.000 km) per year –
should have the engine oil changed at least
every 2 years since oil deteriorates over
time, regardless of use.
For more information on the Service
Interval Display, see page 57.

Service Guide Booklet (Canadian
models)
For additional information on maintenance
intervals and procedures, please refer to
the Service and Warranty Information
Booklet (US models) or the Warranty and
Service Guide Booklet (Canadian models).
As a precaution against rust, it is advisable
to have the body checked for damage from
rocks or gravel at the same time, depending
upon operating conditions.
Have your vehicle's maintenance
and repairs performed at your MINI
center.
Be sure that all maintenance work is
confirmed in the Service and Warranty
Information Booklet (US models) or the
Warranty and Service Guide Booklet (Cana-
dian models). These entries are your proof
that the vehicle has received regular main-
tenance. They are also a requirement for
warranty claims.
