Why do you get a litre bottle of oil with the car?

Does the engine drink oil, like the RX8?

I didn't get this. None of my 4 previous minis have needed much oil.

It was in a little black zipped bag, branded with Mini. It was in the lower boot area, with the cargo net, which was wrapped in a bag.

Cool! I am very jealous

Nope, I didn't get it either! Seems strange as modern engines really should not use oil to the extent you have to regularly top them up.
I would like the bag though!

My parents' 2002 BMW x5 has this. Maybe BMW is moving this idea to MINI too?

Keep the oil send me the bag Mini. As you can see I didn't get it either. What kind of oil is it? Share a pic of your gift please

Maybe it's just a gift from your dealer specifically?

It's for burn outs on the road. Just add a little oil on the front tires and go for it.

I had a litre of oil when I bought my R56 cooper.
I do low mileage and at almost 2 years old the car has only done just over 14,000 miles so far.
I have topped the oil up twice over that time and have used most of the container.

It's a nice touch from the dealer I suppose, I thought they all did it?

 

[texy]

Nope - depends on how tight/generous your dealer is !

I got the same; although mine was branded Castrol, rather than Mini. Also the cargo net in a plastic bag, as well as a fairly fancy GEN3 care pack, also in a fancy black bag, which came as part of the paint protection option.

Nope, I got a Bull dog toy.
