I just went to the dealer for my first oil change because my MINI is at 5200 miles. I just bought her in July and figured like any other car, every 5000 is a good oil change mileage. The dealer told me I have another 11,000 miles to go! And that the MINI only needs an oil change every 10,000 miles or once a year. Does that seem crazy to anyone? It's a 2010 MINI Hardtop. Nothin fancy =) Let me know your thoughts =)
