As the owner of a MINI Countryman, you know your SUV delivers an exceptional driving experience on roads from Daly City to Pacifica and beyond.

But what is the MINI Countryman oil type that the automaker suggests using? MINI of San Francisco answers this and related questions below.
 

 

What is the MINI Countryman Oil Type?

So, what is the MINI Countryman oil type? The MINI Countryman recommended oil can vary based on the model year and trim level of your SUV, so start by checking your owner’s manual for exact requirements. If you drive a 2025 Countryman, the manufacturer suggests a full synthetic 0W-20 oil, specifically BMW Longlife-17 FE+.*

What is the MINI Countryman Oil Capacity?

The MINI Countryman oil capacity can also differ from one model year and trim level to the next; be sure to consult your owner’s manual for precise specs. But for 2025 models, the MINI Countryman oil capacity is about 5.5 quarts.

 

How Often Should You Change the Oil in a MINI Countryman?

It’s a good idea to schedule an oil change using the MINI Countryman recommended oil every 10,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first. Routine oil changes are an important part of maintaining your Countryman, as oil keeps engine parts well-lubricated to provide you with the following benefits:

  • Engine Cleaning – By removing sludge and other contaminants, oil cleans your engine for improved performance in San Mateo and wherever else your travels may take you.
  • Engine Cooling – Because oil carries away some of the heat generated during the combustion process, engine temperatures are kept down, which also improves performance.
  • Engine Protection – Oil forms a protective barrier on engine parts, which keeps friction and wear and tear to a minimum and prevents damage.
  • Fuel Efficiency – An engine that is well-protected and runs cleaner and cooler is a more efficient engine, which can help enhance fuel economy.
