Hi guys, I am about to do my first engine oil change, and can some one please tell me how many quarts doesn't the 3 cylinder engine takes? Mine is 2016 Mini Cooper base 2 door hardtop. Thanks you!

 

It is in your owners manual.

 

didn't find it in there

 

In your other post I recommended you call your dealers service dept. Crazy that the oil capacity is not in the manual.

 

Did some research, it should be 4.5 to 5 quarts

 

Should be 4.49 quarts. Here's an application guide. Please be sure to ask if we can help in any way!

Since the spec is just under 4.5 quarts. I'd be sure the oil has had a chance to drain to the pan and you are parked on level ground.

 

There was a campaign to remove engine oil decals from engine bays of all 2014/2015 models. So far no new decals have been issued.

And pretty sure the 2016 F models have engine oil decals...Think it reads reads 0W-20, maybe OP can check theirs. Decal should be on engine cover.

 

I see people saying 4.5 is not enough on this forum. And they end up using 5
