How often should you change the oil on a Ford Focus?

I just bought a used Ford Focus and I'm not sure when I should schedule an oil change. How often should I change the oil to keep my car running smoothly?

It's important to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your specific Ford Focus model. Generally, it's recommended to change the oil every 5,000-7,500 miles. However, if you often drive in extreme conditions, such as towing or driving in high temperatures, you may need to change the oil more frequently.

I have a similar question with my Ford Focus. After doing some research, I found that it's best to check your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval. Factors such as your driving habits and the type of oil you use can also affect your oil change frequency.

My mechanic told me that I should change the oil on my Ford Focus every 3,000 miles. However, after doing some research, I found out that this may be outdated advice. Nowadays, cars are designed to go longer between oil changes, so it's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
