Initial oil changes were at 7500 - post tune - about 5500 - 6000 mile intervals. Current odo N63/GT 23k. New "11" Cooper S - oil changed at 2900....

Turbo engines love oil, I am going to make sure they're fed a fresh supply.

My N.A. vehicles are running synthetic as well, oil change intervals at 7500.
