How often should I change the oil in my Ford S-Max?

I have a Ford S-Max and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil to keep my car running smoothly. Any recommendations?

It's generally recommended to change your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles depending on your driving habits and the type of oil you use. It's important to check your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your Ford S-Max.

You can also just check your oil regularly and change it when it starts to look dark and dirty. It's better to err on the side of caution and change it more often rather than wait too long.

If you use synthetic oil, you can usually go longer between oil changes as it lasts longer than conventional oil. Again, check your owner's manual for guidance.
