I love my cooper and the mini community. My father handed down his 02 cooper s to me this summer. He put on some mods like a magnaflow exhaust, alta light weight pulley, Alta intercooler, alta Intake, dinan stage 4 software, and H&R springs and i just bought Milltek headers which i havent installed yet.But when i put it up on the jack to put on the headers i also want to change my oil (Im doing it myself dont know if thats bad).The thing is that I live in Miami and the service manual recommended 5w30, so i went out and bought 5 quarts of royal purple(wanted reline couldnt find it anywhere). Is that that weight to thin for Miami, or should i go back and change the weight?

 

Go with the 5w30. DIY is good..you'll do just fine.Sounds like you have a nice Mini!! Post a picture.

 

Welcome to NAM!! Sounds like you have a great Father and a pretty sharp MINI. Stick with the 5W-30 and you'll be in good shape. Enjoy your new ride!!

 

Sounds like a sweet ride. Show us some picts.

Will your mini be legal in FL after you install the Headers?

 

I went outside to take some quick pics.
And to tell you the truth i have no clue if my mini will be legal in Fl, Im going to have to check that out. O yea and my hood scope is carbon fiber.

 

Nice looking S! And of course, the color combo is right on!

 

Yes it is!

Sweer Mini, where did you get the carbon fiber scoop?

 

Very nice man. Welcome to NAM.

 

Sweet ride!!! Is it just the photo, or does the "S" really light up on the side vent???

 

The red tape used is "reflective".

 

I did my oil change and put on the headers with the help of my friends. Omg the car sounds so nice and feels great.No leaks Yay!!!!!!!!
