The 2018 MINI Cooper has a unique feature where you can check the oil level through the infotainment system instead of using a traditional dipstick. By accessing the "Vehicle Info" button in the main menu and selecting "Vehicle Status", you can navigate to the "oil level" option to view the status indicator. This user-friendly method is being implemented in more cars to assist those who may not be familiar with checking oil levels. It will clearly indicate if oil is needed, and it is recommended to check this monthly to prevent issues like the MINI Cooper oil-starving engine problem that has affected many consumers in the past.
The oil dipstick on a 2018 Mini Cooper can be found towards the front of the engine on the side where the passenger sits.
