good afternoon! New Mini owner here - 2002 (her name is Chili).  Just got the oil changed at AAA and I am well aware of the computer and how it tells you when the next oil change is due. However, mine hasn't changed. Does this have to be actually 'reset' by the dealership or someone who knows how? Or does  it just take the computer some time to figure out the next change... ??

First, welcome to HRMINI!

I did a quick internet search and came up with a procedure for resetting the oil service indicator for your MINI.  Have you tried this?  http://new.minimania.com/web/SCatagory/ENGINE/DisplayType/Technical%20Information/DisplayID/1920/ArticleV.cfm

Best of luck!  I didn't personally own my MINI long enough to have to do my own oil changes!
