Recommended service and maintenance schedule for MINI Countryman

MINI of Universal City – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for MINI Countryman

Staying on top of maintenance keeps your MINI Countryman responsive, efficient, and ready for everyday adventures. For drivers in North Hollywood, Burbank, and Glendale, our factory-trained technicians streamline care with genuine MINI parts, advanced diagnostics, and Condition-Based Service guidance so your vehicle gets precisely what it needs—right when it needs it. While intervals can vary by model year, engine, and driving habits, most Countryman vehicles follow a familiar rhythm that prioritizes oil service, brake care, filters, fluids, spark plugs, tire health, and—for ALL4—driveline inspections. New vehicles may include MINI Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance for an initial term; please consult the manufacturer or our service team for program details and eligibility. Use the general schedule below as a practical starting point, then tailor it to your mileage, climate, and commute. Our advisors review dashboard reminders, verify open campaigns, and capture a digital inspection at every visit to keep future needs on your radar and help you plan ahead.

• Oil and filter: Every 7,500-10,000 miles or annually; follow Condition Based Service and Owner’s Manual.
• Brake inspection: Check pads, rotors, and lines every 10,000-15,000 miles; replace brake fluid every 2 years.
• Tires and alignment: Rotate 5,000-7,500 miles when applicable; set TPMS-calibrated pressures monthly; align yearly or as needed.
• Cabin air microfilter: Replace every 15,000-20,000 miles or 2 years to maintain HVAC performance and interior air quality.
• Engine air filter: Replace every 20,000-30,000 miles; inspect sooner in dusty or high-pollen environments.
• Spark plugs: Replace about 60,000 miles on many turbo 4-cylinder engines; confirm interval for your model year.
• Coolant: Inspect level and condition at each service; replace at factory-specified intervals to protect the engine and turbo.
• Transmission service: Inspect or replace fluid 60,000-100,000 miles, depending on automatic, DCT, or manual; confirm application.
• ALL4 driveline: Inspect differential and transfer case fluids 30,000-60,000 miles; service if contaminated or per CBS.
• PHEV systems: For Cooper SE Countryman ALL4, schedule high-voltage and cooling system checks at factory intervals—no DIY.
