How often should I get an oil change for my Ford Galaxy?

I just bought a Ford Galaxy and want to know how often I should get an oil change for optimal performance. I've heard varying opinions and want to know what is best for my car.

It is generally recommended to get an oil change every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. However, it ultimately depends on your driving habits and the type of oil you use.

Some Ford Galaxy models have an advanced oil monitoring system that will notify you when it's time for an oil change. Otherwise, stick to the recommended interval in your owner's manual.

If you frequently drive in harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, dusty roads, or towing heavy loads, you may need to get an oil change more often. Consult with a trusted mechanic for personalized advice.
