How often should I change the oil in my Ford Focus?

I recently purchased a Ford Focus and I'm not sure how often I should be changing the oil. Can anyone give me some advice?

I would recommend changing the oil every 5,000-7,000 miles. This will ensure your engine stays running smoothly and prolong the life of your car.

It's best to follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual. This will vary depending on your vehicle's model and year.

I change my oil every 3,000 miles to be safe. It may seem like overkill, but it gives me peace of mind.
