Happy New Years to all of the Mini owners & fans here is my first question of the year my Mini shows that I have 1100 miles and the date of 9/2011 before my next service I have 36575 miles on her now it seems i have been driving a lot and the 1100 miles never goes down SO WHAT GIVES ??????

 

Take it in to the dealer and get it serviced. It's within the time frame..

 

Review your manual for the instructions on how to access the service info menu. That will tell you exactly which system thinks it has 1100 miles left. That may help you determine why it is not counting down any faster.

 

Happy New Years - it's Feb dude. It would be wise to keep you own records and service intervals.

How much time and how many miles since your last oil change?




Service intervals per the 2010 manual:
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
Tires 6 Years
Spark Plugs 60K
Transmission Service 100K
Oxygen Sensor 120K
Coolant N/S ("Long-term rated. Change at system repairs only").
V-Belt N/S
Fuel Filter N/S
Power Steering Fluid N/S

 

It really shouldn't matter how many miles. Just call the dealer and schedule a service. (provided you can talk them into the last of the "free" services) By the time you get in, it will be due.

 

He's past the 36,000 miles - so no more "free" services...
