The MINI Coupé R58 (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacities split into two distinct values across the lineup: 1.7 liters for the Cooper and 1.9 liters for the Cooper S, Cooper SD, and John Cooper Works variants.
The Cooper's 1.7-liter transaxle capacity is the lower of the two figures in the R58 range, reflecting a smaller gearbox unit compared to the higher-output variants.
The 1.9-liter capacity shared by the Cooper S, Cooper SD, and John Cooper Works trims indicates a physically larger transaxle housing, consistent with the greater torque loads those drivetrains place on the gearbox.
All five configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
The John Cooper Works appears across two overlapping year bands, 2011-2012 and 2012-2015, both specifying the same 1.9-liter transaxle capacity under normal use conditions.
Because all entries are labeled as transaxle rather than standalone transmission, the stated fluid volumes account for the combined gearbox and differential assembly housed in a single casing, which is typical of front-wheel-drive manual drivetrain layouts.
