Additional Notes

  • The MINI Countryman R60 (USA) manual transaxle fluid capacities split into two distinct values across the 2010-2016 lineup: 1.7 liters for the Cooper (90 kW) and 1.9 liters for all higher-output variants.
  • A transaxle combines the transmission and final drive into a single housing, which means the listed capacity covers both functions within one shared fluid volume.
  • The Cooper (90 kW) carries a 1.7-liter manual transaxle fill, the smallest capacity in the R60 range, reflecting the more compact gearbox paired with the lower-output engine.
  • The Cooper S (135 kW), Cooper S ALL4 (135 kW), and John Cooper Works ALL4 (160 kW) all share a 1.9-liter manual transaxle capacity, despite differences in power output and drivetrain configuration between them.
  • The 0.2-liter difference between the Cooper and the Cooper S variants represents a meaningful distinction in transaxle size, as even small volume differences in a sealed gearbox can affect lubrication coverage and thermal management.
  • All four configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
  • No service interval mileage or time figure is listed alongside the capacity data, so the specifications address fill volume only, not drain-and-refill frequency.
  • The ALL4 all-wheel-drive system present in two of the four variants does not alter the manual transaxle fluid capacity relative to the front-wheel-drive Cooper S, as both share the same 1.9-liter figure.
