When we recently purchased the Mini another owner recommended we change the engine oil after 1,000 miles. I would like to know if this is recommended. The car comes with synthetic oil. Manufacturer recommends changing the oil at the sooner of 10,000 miles or 12 months. The car will be driven about 6,000 miles a year and will be mostly local driving. Your input is appreciated.

Hi Mschrier, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Nice looking little car don't blame you being concern-If it was mine I will change the oil/filter every 2.5K's miles whether local/interstate driving good preventive maintenance
