After changing the engine oil on the Mini, you need to reset the system that alerts you to the need for this operation. Sit in the driver's seat, press and hold the button on the right inside the speedometer, turn the ignition key to position one, and release the button.

Press it again for five seconds until the word "reset" starts flashing on the display, then release it and press again until the updated maintenance interval appears. Turn off the instrument cluster, and upon the next restart, check the reset.
