Additional Notes

  • The MINI Coupe R58 brake fluid specifications cover the hydraulic brake/clutch system with DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) across all listed configurations, meaning the fluid serves both braking and clutch actuation functions within a shared hydraulic circuit.
  • Across the Cooper (90 kW), Cooper S (135 kW), and John Cooper Works (155 kW) variants, the fill quantity is expressed as "between min and max" rather than a fixed volume, indicating a top-up or level-check service rather than a measured drain-and-fill procedure.
  • All configurations share a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions, meaning time elapsed is the governing factor for fluid replacement rather than mileage or operating cycles.
  • The Cooper (90 kW) and Cooper S (135 kW) variants carry the 24-month interval across the full 2011-2015 span, while the John Cooper Works (155 kW) appears under two separate year bands, 2011-2012 and 2012-2015, both specifying the same 24-month interval and level-based fill guidance.
