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.
