How often should I get my Ford Focus oil changed?

I just bought a used Ford Focus and I'm not sure how often I should get the oil changed. Can you provide any advice on a recommended time frame and any important things to keep in mind?

It's recommended to get your oil changed every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. But it's important to also consider your driving habits, the environment you're driving in, and the type of oil your car requires.

I usually get my oil changed every 7,500 miles, but I also drive mostly on highways and don't live in a particularly extreme climate. It's always best to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

I have a Ford Focus too and I get my oil changed every 5,000 miles regardless of how long it's been. It's better to err on the side of caution and keep your engine well-lubricated.
