All right, we’re going to reset the oil service light for a MINI Countryman R60. We will use the Trip button on the cluster and the BC button on the turn signal lever to do this. So the first thing you have to do is:
If your vehicle has an ignition button, press the START button without stepping on the pedals
Hold the TRIP button on the instrument cluster down for roughly about 10 seconds and the service menus going to come up
Then you’re going to use the BC button on the end of the turn signal lever to scroll through the service menu and find the engine oil
When you are on the Engine Oil screen, hold down the BC button until Reset mode appears on the screen
Let us push and hold it again, and then it will reset your engine oil indicator
Done!
You can reset other service items if needed. You can scroll through any of these service menus and reset them all the same way.
For your info, this operation works for the Mini Cooper Countryman R60 (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 model years). For the latest model, you can get it here.
Your Mini Countryman may require different maintenance procedures depending on driving conditions and climate. Regular oil changes, filter changes, and brake pad replacements are among the recommended services. Keep up with routine maintenance appointments to keep your Mini Cooper Countryman in excellent condition and avoid any issues. Here are some recommended service intervals:
The condition-based service (CBS) system is an advancement in car maintenance. Previously, the service intervals for maintenance items were determined by mileage. Still, now they are based on a combination of factors, including driving conditions, time, and the condition of critical parts. The BMW Condition-Based Service system makes it easier to know when it’s time to visit the dealership for regular service.
Depending on your driving habits, the Condition Based Service system will suggest you take your Mini in for maintenance. Sensors and algorithms measure your driving conditions and determine when maintenance is due. This information is recorded on the remote control key fob, so a dealership can use it to pick up your car’s service needs. However, the disconnection of the battery could disrupt the condition-based system.
If you notice the warning light flashing on your dashboard, it’s probably time to change your oil. The condition of your engine depends on your driving style. In addition to checking your oil level, the CBS system will monitor other factors, such as the amount of time you drive and your engine’s temperature. If it detects that your engine needs a change, you can easily make an appointment with your local Mini dealer for service.
The oil level sensor in BMW models can develop an electrical fault or leak oil, and you’ll notice a yellow warning light on the instrument panel. The indicator will stay on even if the oil level is OK, but you’ll have to stop the engine from checking it. The fault code will most likely be in the engine control module’s DME. To test the DME, check the continuity of the circuit and if the electrical fuse has blown.
Routine maintenance of your 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman is crucial for its health and performance. Depending on your driving habits, the recommended maintenance may include fluid exchanges, filters, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Following the recommended maintenance schedule can keep your Cooper Countryman in good shape and avoid costly repairs later. Read on to learn more about the recommended maintenance for your 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman.
While the base model of the 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman is relatively slow, it is more potent than the base Mini Cooper hatchback. It has twice the cargo space and a standard engine with 121 horsepower. John Cooper Works and S models come with solid turbocharged engines that provide plenty of power. The sport-oriented suspension is tuned for responsive handling, but sacrifices ride quality for a crossover.
Your car’s oil change interval varies according to several factors. If you’re a heavy vehicle user, frequent trips in heavy traffic, tow large loads or own a newer model, you’ll probably want to change it more often. In any case, you’ll need to check your owner’s manual for the most accurate information. Changing your oil is vital for proper engine performance, and you should always follow the manufacturer’s recommended interval for your vehicle.
Your MINI Countryman comes with a built-in reminder system that alerts you to its upcoming maintenance needs. You’ll be notified when it’s time to change oil through your car’s instrument cluster. In some cases, the dealership will contact you to make an appointment. If you’d prefer to keep an eye on your car’s oil level, you can check the service symbols on the vehicle’s dashboard to determine when to make an appointment.
For the first three years (or 36,000 miles) of ownership of a new car, you will get free maintenance. You only have to be concerned about MINI Cooper servicing expenses if you go beyond your recommended maintenance plan. When your MINI Cooper needs an oil change, you should expect to fork up between $150 and $190.
In order to keep up with their 12,000-mile-per-year average mileage, most of the mini’s cars get their oil changed two to three times each year.
The cost of replacing the cabin air filter is not prohibitive. Cabin air filters typically cost less than $70 to replace, including parts and labor.
So that’s it. It’s pretty simple, right? If you have any questions, please let me know. If you could take a second to share, it would help us out, and I’d appreciate it. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

I purchased a new left-over 2015 MINI Cooper S. November 6. Today I noticed that the service reminder said 9000 miles, 6/16. I know the dealer took delivery April and its state inspection stickers were done June. The sales advisor who did the sale said that its on a timer and can't be changed but that my 3 years maintenance, etc goes by my date of purchase and I should just bring it in for service June even though it SHOULD have said 15,000 miles (well, less 300 miles now) and11/16. What do you think?
new units always have a shorter first time service for engine brake in.
all of the machined edges for the transmission and engine components brake in together causing an excess of oil debris over the course of the break in period. it is the most important service/period for getting longevity out of your motor.
