Additional Notes
- The MINI Cooper S Convertible R52 carries a 6-liter initial fill capacity for the automatic transaxle, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when the unit is dry, such as after a rebuild or full replacement.
- Service fill capacity for the automatic transaxle is rated at 4.5 liters, which is the volume needed when fluid is drained and refilled during routine maintenance rather than a complete overhaul.
- The 1.5-liter difference between the initial fill and service fill values indicates that a portion of fluid remains trapped in the torque converter and valve body during a standard drain procedure, making a full evacuation impractical without disassembly.
- The automatic transaxle service interval for the 125 kW Cooper S Convertible is set at 100,000 miles under normal use conditions, placing the change interval in the category commonly referred to as a long-life or extended-drain schedule.
