Check the fluid levels on the Mini One.

Model: Mini Mini F56, F57, F54, F55 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how to check the fluid levels on the Mini One: we start by opening the hood. The oil level is electronically monitored, so start the engine and let it run at idle. In about a minute the level check will be completed. If it is necessary to add oil, it is also necessary to turn off the engine, then recheck the level. The expansion tank for the coolant is located on the right side of the engine compartment. With the engine cold, turn the cap counterclockwise. The level should reach the maximum level. If necessary, add a mixture of water and antifreeze, then securely replace the cap. The brake fluid reservoir is located at the rear of the engine compartment, and the plastic cover must be removed. Here too, the fluid should be at the maximum level. If necessary, add new fluid from a sealed container, securely replace the cap and then cover with the plastic cover. The windshield washer reservoir is located on the right side of the engine compartment: open the cap and refill with a mixture of water and appropriate fluid, then securely replace the cap, finally securely close the hood.
