How often should I change my Ford Transit Custom's oil?

I recently purchased a Ford Transit Custom and I'm not sure how often I should be changing the oil. Can I follow the recommended schedule from my previous car or does the Transit Custom have different requirements?

Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Ford Transit Custom. Depending on your driving habits and the type of oil used, it is recommended to change your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

As a Ford enthusiast, I can tell you that the Transit Custom requires oil changes every 10,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently participate in towing or carry heavy loads, you may want to change it more often.

I've been a mechanic for over 15 years and I always recommend following the manufacturer's recommended oil change schedule. The Ford Transit Custom typically requires oil changes every 7,500 miles or every 6 months.
