How often should I change the oil in my Ford Transit Custom?

I just purchased a Ford Transit Custom and want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. How often should I change the oil and what type of oil should I use?

If you frequently drive in severe conditions, such as extreme temperatures or stop-and-go traffic, you may want to consider changing your oil more often. Consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

It is recommended to change the oil in your Ford Transit Custom every 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. Always use high-quality synthetic motor oil for the best performance.

I personally change my oil every 5,000 miles to ensure my engine stays in top condition. I also use a high-performance synthetic oil for better protection and longevity.
