Is it necessary to regularly change the oil in a Ford Focus?

I just purchased a Ford Focus and want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. Should I change the oil every 3,000 miles or can I go longer between changes?

Yes, it is necessary to regularly change the oil in your Ford Focus. The recommended interval for oil changes is every 3,000 miles. This helps to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine.

It depends on your driving habits and the type of oil used in your Ford Focus. Some newer models may only require an oil change every 5,000-7,500 miles. Check your owner's manual for the recommended interval for your specific car.
