Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R50, R52, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Power steering oil
Operation: Check and top up Mini Cooper R50 power steering oil

First we open the hood of the car with the lever placed on the passenger side. Centrally located in the engine compartment, in black we find the power steering oil pan. To avoid introducing dust or dirt, let's clean around the tray. Now we unscrew the cap and from it we check the fluid level by adjusting with the two notches of the minimum and maximum. Then top up any lack of oil with a special and suitable product (CHF 11S from Pentosin), and screw the cap back on. We unscrew again and check the level again, until it almost reaches the maximum. Then we close the cap and the hood and that's it!
