Is a regular oil change necessary for a Ford Focus?

I recently purchased a Ford Focus and I'm wondering if it's necessary to get an oil change every 3,000 miles like my previous car. Will not getting regular oil changes affect the performance of my car?

Yes, regular oil changes are necessary for the well-being of your Ford Focus. It helps keep the engine running smoothly and can prolong the life of your car.

No, it's not necessary to get an oil change every 3,000 miles. Check your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval for your specific Ford Focus.
