[quote=MandyB1971;3631332]As per the oil usage issue, we had this very discussion with them a few weeks ago as we are putting more oil in it than we do in our Freelander Diesel!! Mini reckon that the MCS will use a litre of oil per 600 miles! Not only that but it can only have Mobil1 super-duper oil in it at £15 per litre! Not good!


That is a load of rubbish.........the recommended oil is Castrol Edge 5W-30 for the MCS not Mobil

The oil consumption for the Mini is minimal, my June 07 build MCS has done 9.5K miles from new.........I check the oil level on a regular basis and have added about 1.5 litres in total over this period.

Get your Dealer to check for oil leaks
