How often should the oil filter be changed on a Ford S-Max?

I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and want to make sure I'm taking proper care of it. I know that changing the oil regularly is important, but how often should I specifically change the oil filter and is there a specific type of filter I should use?

It's recommended to change the oil filter every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. As for the type of filter, make sure to always use a genuine Ford oil filter for the best quality and fit for your vehicle.

While the manufacturer's recommendation is every 10,000 miles, I personally like to change my oil filter every 5,000 miles for added peace of mind. And as for the type of filter, there are a few quality options out there but make sure to avoid cheap filters that may not meet the necessary standards for your Ford S-Max.

In addition to regular oil and filter changes, it's important to regularly check your oil levels and make sure to always use the recommended oil viscosity for your Ford S-Max. I recommend checking your oil every month and topping it up if needed.
