Additional Notes
- Across all four variants of the MINI Coupé R58 covered here — Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper SD, and John Cooper Works — the automatic transaxle shares identical fluid capacity figures, with a dry fill of 6 liters and a service fill of 4.5 liters.
- The 6-liter dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty or overhauled transaxle, such as after a full rebuild where all fluid has been removed from the unit and its internal passages.
- The 4.5-liter service fill figure applies to routine fluid changes, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and other internal cavities that are not fully drained during a standard service procedure.
- The 1.5-liter difference between dry and service fill capacities reflects the volume of fluid that typically stays trapped in the torque converter during a drain-and-fill service, a common characteristic of automatic transmission servicing.
- All four variants carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacity values apply to standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only scenario.
- The Cooper, Cooper S, and Cooper SD share a 2011-2015 model year span for the automatic transaxle specification, while the John Cooper Works variant enters the specification set from 2012, giving it a 2012-2015 range within the same capacity figures.
