How often should I change the oil on my Ford Fiesta?

I just bought a used Ford Fiesta and I'm not sure when I should change the oil. Can I wait until the recommended mileage or should I change it sooner? What type of oil should I use for optimal performance?

Hi Sarah, it's best to follow the recommended oil change interval for your specific Ford Fiesta model. This will ensure that your engine stays properly lubricated and running smoothly. It's also important to use the type of oil recommended by Ford for optimal performance.

Changing your oil more frequently, such as every 3,000 miles instead of 5,000, can also help extend the life of your engine. As for the type of oil, I personally recommend using synthetic oil for better protection and longevity.

While following the recommended oil change interval is important, it's also a good idea to check your oil level and condition regularly. If you notice it's low or dirty, it's best to change it sooner rather than later to prevent any potential damage to your engine.
