I take it you've read the oil filter housing thread in the problems section?
/quote So far we have had FOUR oil filter housing failures posted on the 2014 Minis.
If you are one of the listed, please add build date, miles, and summary comments,
so we may be alert to the situation.

Production Date; 3, 2014

. But
.Motoring file saying Cars affected are between the dates of the 13th November 2013 to 14th March 2014?
Two of the above failures are after those dates. \quote
I'd throw a post on there so it can be tracked for the powers that be and tied in. If that turns out to be the problem

what happened to me was in replacing the housing, it also affects the antifrieeze so when i drove home, i got another alert, brought it BACK in, to find out that it was air in the system. cleared it up and the alert went away.

I wonder why they didn't contact the OP about the recall. I thought that was via Mini USA, they send a letter and maybe an email. They did to me about my recall. It's different with stuff that won't brick your car, like the exhaust tips they replaced when you went in for something else, because they could burn your leg if you were an idiot.

With all that said, Even though the SI is for a coolant leak, and a car is out of the recall range (or it has already been done at the port) there are still A LOT of oil filter housing failures.

I don't know the answer but a phone call to your dealership and they should be able to help you over the phone.

Yes I think it's in there. I did mine from it last year. BTW I think I was the one to discover the secret menu in 2007, I did it by accident trying to reset the trip meter and found my VIN number and stuff. I started a thread about it but I didn't fool around with it much.
#19
Why reset it? The more service (and oil) you can get for free, the better, and they probably check a few things beyond the oil! In fact, I would guess they purposely left it because yours was a repair and not really a service.
#21
BTW I was able to find a solution to my problem in another thread (press and hold the trip indicator for about 10 seconds). The service tech that I spoke with at my dealer over the phone had no clue how to do this on the F56.
For what it's worth at least I got a loaner for my issue.
