How often should I change the oil in my 2014 Mini Cooper?

Can I use synthetic oil in my 2014 Mini Cooper?
Yes. 5W-30 is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2014 Mini Cooper. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
