Maintaining a pre-owned MINI Cooper doesn’t take a lot of work. In order to keep your vehicle in great shape, you just have to make sure it gets the right care at the right times, including the following.
Fluid Top-Offs Every Few Months
The fluids for all of your vehicle's systems that require them need to be at the right levels. This is why they should be looked at pretty frequently and topped off if need be.
Oil Changes Twice Per Year
Oil is crucial for lubricating the moving parts in your engine so they perform well. When it gets old, it gets thicker, so it can’t provide adequate lubrication. No matter how many miles you drive, oil should be changed two times per year.
Tire Rotations Twice Per Year
Another thing you should be doing every six months is having your tires rotated. This is because tires don’t wear down the same way, and rotating them lets them wear more evenly. This improves performance and lets your tires last a lot longer.
Brake and Battery Checks Every Year
You should have both your braking system and battery examined annually. The brakes especially undergo a lot of wear and tear, so it’s important to gauge their health. It’s also essential to know how much charge your battery has because they only last about five or six years before needing to be replaced.
