Just ran across your post concerning Syntec 0w-30. I own an 08 Mini Cooper convertible & just completed the first oil change today. The car only had 4400 miles on it, but it is well over a year old. I figured changing it a little early the first time wouldn't hurt a thing. Thos cars come factory filled with Syntec 5w-30, & that's what I was about to run in it...until I started reading about the 0w-30 - made in Germany. I purchase most of my oil at AutoZone, & they had both weights available today when I went in, & at the same price. I went ahead & used the 0w-30 in the car & will be glad to keep you posted with my results - not that I expect any real difference. I did notice that the Euro formula has a slightly more golden coloration & even a different smell than the US Syntec. I will continue to use the 0w-30 in the Cooper, based on the good things I've read on-line about it.
