Greetings All

Hi,
This is my first post just to say Hello to all. I bought my 08 Mini S Clubman in June and have enjoyed my first summer with it immensly. I'm just about to do my first oil change on it myself (5000km), as I plan to store it for the winter and can't imagine doing that without changing the oil first even though the scheduled service for an oil change is 20,000km (according to Mini). That's huge. I'm sure Mini thinks this is acceptable, but I have to sleep at night and anything over 5000km keeps me awake!
Picked up on the thread by Z3bum ( https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=101513) which is going to help a lot.
Enjoyed reading the many posts on this site and hope to be able to contribute to the forum down the road.

Welcome to NAM.

I know what you mean about changing the oil. I usually do it about halfway between each recommended service.
