Hello

I have a question what do I need to change on a maintenance on JCW with 18k miles 2013.

thank you .

 

Nothing really. Make sure oil is changed every 5k or so. Spark plugs at 30k, and brakes around 30k depending on driving style.

 

Go to the dealer and do oil every 10K or every year if you don't drive much. The dealer serviced the spark plugs at 18K.

Otherwise, they replace what seems to wear. I am still under factory maintenance until 07/17 but I will ask for a full inspection before the expiration.

At that time, I will be around 34-35K and I will have to make a decision if I keep my JCW Coupe for one more year or until warranty expire in 2018. I never keep my new cars more than 3 years but I love this one. I don't see any other exciting Mini in my future for now.

 

Oil/filter at 5k.

 

why the The dealer serviced the spark plugs at 18K?

 

This is correct advice.

 

Because they told me it is regular maintenance at 15K for JCW engine.

 

there is a service schedule?

 

Go to your dealer. They read the key and thats all they do until something breaks. I have been told on my last visit (28K) they don't even know what they may need to service at 30K or 36K. This is insane.

There is no preventive maintenance on a Mini as far as I understand other than changing oil at 10K.

 

I have a 2013 JCW which I bought last May with 9000 miles on it. As of June 2016 and around 11k miles, it needed new plugs. Mind it hadn't been driven much outside of Long Island and Chicago traffic, and I think that did them in. Other than that, nothing in the regular maintenance aside from oil changes and I think one brake fluid flush have been performed.

I'd recommend a brake fluid flush every 2 years mileage independent, so I did one last year for my JCW at 17-18k miles. Some people wait longer but it usually doesn't cost much and could be good for the longevity of the braking system (if say, there's water introduced via condensation or something.)

Your serpentine belt may have developed cracks if its in a very dry environment, and that could theoretically be done in a maintenance interval - I did mine last year at about 17k miles when the water pump was replaced. Why keep a cheap old belt on there that's coming on and off?

Some other dates in rough terms:
Oil Change ... 1 Year or CBS
Brake Fluid ... 2 Years or CBS
Micro-Filter ... 2 Years
Air Filter ... 2 Years or Every 2nd Oil Change or CBS
Transmission Service ... 100K
Oxygen Sensor ... 120K
Coolant N/S ... ("Long-term rated. Change at system repairs only").
Fuel Filter ... N/S
Power Steering Fluid ... N/S

 

any ideal were I can order some Spark plugs?

 

These are the ones you want:

 

yep, what he said

 

I'm confused. that is for M18?

 

What? The plugs? Will fit mini, read amazon comments. Plugs fit many applications.
