It is disappointing that MINI/BMW does not reveal the capacities or recommended oil types (they list several different one but nothing is concrete) in their manuals. In fact they go out of their way to make it complicated. However I just finished changing the oil in the 2008 MINI (not S). It took 4 quarts without the oil filter change. This may be slightly greater for the Cooper S.
The oil capacity for the Cooper and Cooper S is 4.6 quarts with the filter change (filter should be changed at EACH oil change). The sticker on my 2003 S recommends Castrol Syntec 5w30 but I have to buy Mobil 1 for my other cars and have started using it in the MINI, also.
I use about 4.25 qt (about 4 L)
Describe in detail how to change the oil in a 2005 mini cooper.
A 2006 Mini Cooper S requires 5.0 quarts of engine oil with a filter change. Also, the manufacturer recommends a good high performance synthetic oil, in a viscosity of 5W30 or 5W40.
If it is a CVT transmission then yes you can use cvt gearbox oil in a mini cooper.
Use exactly the weight that Mini recommends. http://www.ehow.com/list_7739452_list-mini-cooper-approved-oil.html

A 2007 Mini Cooper S uses a Purolator L15465 oil filter. It is designed to trap small particles in the oil before it can damage the engine.
every 5000ks
very carfully
The manufacturer recommends that you use 10W-30 motor oil in your 2006 Mini Cooper. Use in extreme climates may call for a heavier oil, like 10 W40.
Change the oil filter every time you change the oil.
