2006 Mini Cooper S - Castrol synthetic 5W30, cause it`s still under warranty and thats what they use. Their intervals are ridiculous, though. 10-12,000 miles. That`s just too long.[/QUOTE]
other cars as well. Using Synthetic oil...the intervals are at around 10K or so if driven normally....in a normal environment. Example, car not driven in a dessert storm or doing 120 mph constantly.
If you have a choice when purchasing the OIL filter for your model....go with the fleece and not the paper filter...it is better and designed to last longer...so changing your oil at 10k should not be a problem with synthetic oil.
Personally, I normally change mine at around 7-8k.
