What is the recommended oil change interval for a Ford Focus?

I just bought a used Ford Focus and I'm not sure when I should get the oil changed. I looked in the owner's manual but I couldn't find a clear answer. Can someone help me figure out the ideal oil change interval?

It is recommended to get an oil change every 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

I've been a mechanic for 10 years and I recommend getting an oil change every 5,000 miles to keep your engine running smoothly.

As a Ford Focus owner myself, I get my oil changed every 6,000 miles and haven't had any issues. Keep an eye on your oil levels and quality in between changes.
