Additional Notes

  • The MINI Convertible R52 (USA) cooling system capacities differ between the two available engine configurations, with the Cooper (85 kW) holding 5.3 liters and the Cooper S (125 kW) holding 6 liters.
  • The 0.7-liter difference in coolant capacity between the 85 kW and 125 kW variants reflects the greater thermal load demands of the supercharged Cooper S engine, which requires a larger volume of coolant to manage heat effectively.
  • A coolant change interval of 48 months is specified for the Cooper S (125 kW) under normal use conditions, meaning standard everyday driving rather than demanding or high-stress operating environments.
  • The Cooper (85 kW) specification row carries no stated change interval, while the Cooper S (125 kW) row includes the 48-month figure alongside its 6-liter capacity under the same normal use condition.
