Hi, new to the forum, asking for my hubby. We recently got a 2007 Cooper, and he is asking if it's best on fully synthetic oil and what grade? Or what would you recommend?

Any fully synthetic 5W-30 or 5W-30 or 0W-40 oil with ACEA A3/B3 and BMW LL-01 certification is recommended,
especially if the car is still under warranty.
Usually that means:

MINI (Castrol) 5W-30
Castrol Syntec 5W-40
Mobil 1 0W-40
Valvoline SynPower 5W-40
Valvoline MaxLife 5W-30

There may be others that meet the specs, especially in different parts of the world.

(These are the USA market names - yours may differ, so go by the specs)
