I run synthetic in everything. In fact, we were just talking about my JCW mini cooper. According to the algorithms built into the computer, my first oil change isn't till another 4K miles. (I've got 14K miles on it now)

That's 18K miles on a first oil change???

I'm sure the BMW engineers know more than I and I also know that by spacing out maintenance, it's a great selling tool that they are paying for oil changes for the first 30K miles.

I changed my oil at 1200 miles, 5K, 10K and every 5K after that with synthetic.

I don't care what the vehicle is, 5K and synthetic.
