MINI Oil Color?
2022 Clubman S All4
Bought it used from a FORD dealer (Capitol FORD / DGDG) at roughly 14,350 miles last year.
CarFax showed the oil was changed at "Mini Stevens Creek" at 14,308.
I had the oil and a filter (have 2 Mini's, same filter) and decided to change it, since ya never really know what the previous shop did. 16,028 miles.
Was surprised the oil coming out of it looked really reddish. Is Mini/BMW oil reddish when new? 0w-20 is what it calls for, not familiar with OEM oil.
I'm a 15+ year VW/Audi guy. I know Audi 0w-20 is green out of the bottle, just wanted to see what you guys think.
