    On your 07 I do believe your oil changes are on you, unless you got a contract with MINI for the changes.

    Keep all your receipts and plan on getting the carbon blasted out at 50K, watch the water pump for leaks around 60K, the HPFP is under a 100K warranty. Keep track of the timing chain and tensoner noises.

    Otherwise, good to go and congratulations, the N14 engine does take a little more care, with frequent oil changes.

    I make the brash assumption this is an 07 R56 S.

    Yes an R5, MCS.

    Cruddy thing is I have a stockpile of Castrol Syntec 5w-30 I'd like to use, but obviously I won't have a receipt for each time...just thought of this, I can take a picture or two each time or only buy one oil filter at a time and keep that receipt.
