How to replace the brake fluid in the Mini Cooper.

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

Replacing the brake oil on a Mini Cooper vehicle is a very simple operation that can be done independently. After purchasing the brake oil online or from an authorized spare parts store, we proceed to open the engine hood and the reservoir cap. Then, we insert a pump into the reservoir to extract the liquid inside and press the brake pedal to help remove the liquid. Alternatively, we can lift the vehicle and empty the reservoir from below. Once the reservoir is empty, we insert the new liquid and press the brake pedal to circulate it.
