How often should I change my Ford Focus's oil?

I just purchased a Ford Focus and I'm wondering how frequently I should change the oil to maintain optimal performance. Thank you!

As a general rule, it's recommended to change your vehicle's oil every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.

For a Ford Focus, it's recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.

I have personally found that changing the oil every 5,000 miles keeps my Ford Focus running smoothly. However, it's always best to consult your vehicle's manual for exact recommendations.
