What is the recommended oil change interval for a Ford Transit Custom?

I recently purchased a Ford Transit Custom and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil to ensure optimal engine performance. Is the standard 5,000 mile interval recommended or is it different for this particular model?

It is generally recommended to change the oil every 5,000 miles for most Ford models. However, for the Transit Custom, it's best to follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval, which is every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

I have been a mechanic for over 10 years and I highly recommend sticking to the 10,000 mile interval for the Transit Custom. This model has a more efficient engine and can go longer without an oil change.

Personally, I have been changing the oil in my Transit Custom every 7,500 miles and have had no issues. It's ultimately up to your preference, but as long as you keep up with regular maintenance, you should be fine.
