Oil Change: MINI Style

I learned something new today. According to Baron BMW in Kansas City, MINIs do not need to have their oil changed until they reach 15,000-16,000 miles. For perspective, an average car needs only about every 5,000 miles. 

Today I realized that my MINI is at the 5,200 mile mark. I called the dealership in a frantic panic thinking that I had unwittingly put my MINI into the oil danger zone. Thankfully, they convinced me I have a long ways to go.

What's more, the newer model MINI's onboard computers pop up with a countdown to service needed. You're MINI will all but drive itself to the oil changing locale.

Now with my mind at ease, I can keep motoring for over 10,000 more miles.
