The 2009 MINI Cooper Clubman requires 4.2 liters (4.4 quarts) of SAE 5W-40 synthetic motor oil, which is slightly thicker than more commonly used types like 5W-20 and 5W-30. This thicker oil provides better lubrication in high temperatures. MINI suggests changing the oil in the Clubman every 4,000 to 6,000 miles, but it ultimately depends on your driving habits. For instance, a long daily commute at low speeds may require more frequent oil changes. Oil is crucial for reducing friction, preventing corrosion, maintaining engine temperature, and improving performance and fuel efficiency. Neglecting oil maintenance could lead to engine damage. The typical cost for an oil change in the 2009 Clubman ranges from $210 to $250, with labor making up $110 to $140 of that amount.

In 2009, the Mini Cooper factory recommended using 5w-30 Castro Synthetic Motor Oil. I have driven my Mini for over 185,000 miles with the original timing chain. I make sure to check the oil daily and change it with Penzoil Ultimate Synthetic 5w-30 every 5000 miles.
