How often should you change the oil in a Ford Focus?

I've heard varying opinions on when to change the oil in my Ford Focus. Can anyone provide some insight on how often I should actually be changing it?

Generally, it is recommended to change the oil in your Ford Focus every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, it ultimately depends on your driving habits and the type of oil you use. It's best to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

I would suggest changing the oil every 6 months to be on the safe side. Also, make sure to check your oil level regularly and top off if needed.

Some people say you can go up to 10,000 miles before changing your oil, but I personally stick to the 5,000 mile mark for peace of mind.
