Additional Notes

  • The MINI Paceman R61 manual transaxle fluid capacities split into two distinct values across the 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 fill.
  • The Cooper S (135 kW), Cooper S ALL4 (135 kW), and John Cooper Works ALL4 (160 kW) all share the same 1.9-liter transaxle capacity despite differences in power output and drivetrain configuration.
  • The 0.2-liter difference between the Cooper and the Cooper S variants reflects a physically larger transaxle unit in the higher-output models rather than a service procedure variation.
  • All four configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacities apply to standard operating environments without a separate severe-duty interval or fill quantity.
  • The ALL4 all-wheel-drive system in the Cooper S ALL4 and John Cooper Works ALL4 does not alter the front transaxle fluid capacity relative to the rear-wheel-drive Cooper S, as both are listed at 1.9 liters for the transaxle specifically.
  • All specifications apply uniformly across the full 2012-2016 model year span for each respective configuration, with no year-over-year variation noted within any single variant.
