Maintenance Cycle - 2006 MC - 20K Miles

Hello,

2 week ago I did something great, brought a used 2006 MC (20K Miles and Still 3 month within Warranty); since then I'm enjoying the driving, huge diff between MC and Toyota Corolla

I went to a dealer today and he told me, this Mini has never been serviced in 3.5 Years at least not at Mini Dealer as VIN can tell them history.

So I did Oil Service (Which I found out that is not same as Oil Change).

So what are regular interval Maintenance I need to take care of? How offen Oil Change and Oil Service, Transmission Flush? Anything to keep my Mini Running like a Sports car.

Suggestion and Comments from you all experts will be really appreciated.

Also can someone tell me where can I buy rear wiper blades / assembley? mine is broken. Dealer I went to is asking for $90.

TIA

De,

It sounds like you don't have any manuals? Check out the Hayes or Bentley Manuals as a start, they are good, as is the forum, for DIY.

For the blades I just got a set for both the font and back plus 3 oil filters for about $130 delivered.

Good luck MiniGSport

Sorry, I got the wiper blades at Minimainia, however other vendors maybe cheaper and sell just the replacement ruber not the whole wiper system.

if you still have maintenance why do you need to pay for wiper blades?

Good point, however the dealer did not replace the blades at the last service. Maybe he should go back and request new blades.
