How often should I change the oil in my 2015 Ford Focus?

Can I use synthetic oil in my 2015 Ford Focus?
Yes. 5W-20 is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2015 Ford Focus. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
