WASHER FLUID ENGINE OIL
Headlamp* and window washer
systems
The capacity of the headlamp washer sys-
tem is approx. 2.6 quarts / 2.5 liters, that of
the windshield and rear window washer
system approx. 2.1
quarts / 2.0 liters.
Fill with water and, if necessary, with anti-
freeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before filling either res-
ervoir.<
Antifreeze agent for the washer sys-
tems is flammable. Always keep it
well away from sparks and open flames,
and store it in tightly closed containers well
out of the reach of children. Always observe
the instructions on the containers.<
The illustration shows by way of example
the dipstick of the MINI COOPER and the
MINI
COOPER Convertible.
Measuring the oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface
2. Switch the engine off after it has
reached normal operating temperature
3. Pull the dipstick out after approx.
5 minutes and wipe it off with a lint-free
cloth, paper towel, or similar material
4. Carefully push the dipstick all the way
into the guide tube and pull it out again.
The oil level must be between the two
marks on the dipstick.
As with fuel economy, oil consumption is
directly influenced by your driving style and
vehicle operating conditions.
The oil volume between the two notches –
MIN, MAX – on the dipstick corresponds to
approx. 1.1
quarts / 1 liter. Do not fill
beyond the upper notch on the dipstick.
Excess oil will damage the engine.
