3000 miles is what BMC recommended. I do mine at about 2500 because it is getting old. |

I do oil and filter at 1,000 miles because my engine is tired. I think about 2,000 miles is pretty good for a good cond engine. |

I do it depending on the cars useage. My daily deluxe gets done at 3k but my Cooper S that takes longer to get miles put on it and has a good fresh engine gets done at 1k |

1k in my Cooper S would be about 3 years 
I usually do the daily driver mini's about every 3 - 4 months, not sure on the distance cause it varies around 3k mark The mini with the oldest engine tends to do it's own oil changes as it needs topping up every 2-300 kms |

I do mine every 5000km. It's a "dry" daily driver and cops a fair bit of spirited driving. |

No point in me doing oil changes anymore. My engine leaks & burns so much constant topping up always keeps it fresh

I do mine similar to Steve. Depending on usage and the driving I'm doing/ done. I give mine a service every 6 weeks or so. In saying this though, I do A LOT of driving and a lot of it high speeds. More than most

Mini owners... keeping the oil companies in business? 
If your regularly driving the car then 5000klms is fine. A better indication is what the oil in the engine is like but i won't go into that. Don't fret if you do more klm's inbetween changes, just make sure it has oil in it. And it's always good to give the car a grease when you change the oil. |

Every 5000kms or once every 12mths. Good oils and quality filters! |

Sad news! Kmart have changed the packaging of the KMX oil and efectively increased the price. I purchased some yesterday and it was $14 for 4 Litres. Was $19 for 6 Litres last time. |

I am happy I got in before they changed it...the EB SXR8 loved K-Mart oil... |
