What brand of oil to use and how often to change?
06 MCS JCW.
This is my first car that needs synthetic oil.
What brand do you guys recommend and how often do you change it? Still every 5k or 10k like bmw recommends?
Im not sure what brand is in the car at the moment, all I know is they put synthetic in for me. Is mobile 1 a good choice?
ANy info would be greatly appreciated.

I was posting in Miles, Sorry.
Well, there are a lot of different intervals that us MINI drivers change our oil. Really the only way to determine the interval that is best for your vehicle is to send your old oil off to be analyzed. But that's on the far end of **** car care. Both 5000Km and 10000Km would be acceptable intervals. Really its your call on that one.

This tends to be a very controversial, and surprisingly sensitive, topic.
FWIW, I actually trust the car's computer oil counter. I believe that the people who designed the car and it's oil counter know more about the car's engine and about oil than I do. I also believe that oil-related engine failure (other than starvation...from not maintaining proper oil level) is the absolute LEAST likely fatal failure any modern car will face in it's lifetime. That's not to say engines will not and do not fail, just that the failures will likely never be attributable to whether the oil was changed at 3000 mile intervals or 15000 mile intervals (or to which brand of the proper type and weight of oil was used, for that matter).
