The new 05 MCS is running fine with just over 19,250 miles. I have no idea when the last oil change was or where or who did it. I figure I better have one done soon to baseline the car for future work.

Does it matter where I go in NoVA (Chantilly area, specifically) to get this done? I have seen a few threads here about botched oil changes that caused others to have problems.

Any recommendations on a safe place?

Thanks.

If you are unwilling to do it yourself, why not to the dealer (MINI of Sterling?) Or Mach V?

+1 on Mach V... these folks are terrific!

 

the MINI still fairly new. Before changing oil stop by a dealership and with the key they can bring up the whole history .. maybe the old owner - who doesn't seem to have driven much - had the final oil change. and check up before selling it. maybe there is an extended maintenance. who knows..

It doesn't cost you anything.

Happy Motoring

 

if you dont feel comfortable doing it yourself or having fellow enthusiasts help out, try Mach V. i went to a dc awd meet when i owned a wrx and their facilities and staff are awesome.
