Thanks to everyone for your response and valued advice. I feel MUCH better knowing fellow Mini drivers who certainly know the car far better than myself (my first Mini) feel I did no damage.
My Mini dealership recommends an oil change every 10k miles. I have this free maintenance for 3 years or 36K with the 'Boot to Bonnet' coverage. However, I may just take the advise and do the oil change at my own expense ($70.00 - WOW!) to be on the safe side.
@ Z06 Pilot: I'm hitting every gear, and when on the highway take it to 6th while staying at or below 75mph. I'm getting re-acclimated to driving a stick. It's like a bicycle I suppose -- you never forget. However, the last time I drove a stick was in my college days. I learned to drive a stick with a Honda CvCC so you can image at times I get a little jerk. :-)
It also takes getting use to far left and up for reverse. :-)
Thanks again everyone, and Happy Motoring?
Regards,
David
