How do I know when my Vauxhall Corsa needs an oil change?

I just bought a used Vauxhall Corsa and I'm not sure when I should get the oil changed. Is there a certain mileage or time frame that I should follow? I want to make sure I'm properly taking care of the engine.

It's generally recommended to get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. However, it's always best to consult your owner's manual for the specific recommendation for your Vauxhall Corsa model.

In addition to following the recommended mileage or time frame, it's also important to pay attention to your car's oil life monitor if it has one. This will take into account factors such as driving habits and conditions, and let you know when it's time for an oil change.

If you're unsure about when to get an oil change, err on the side of caution and do it more often rather than less often. Neglecting regular oil changes can lead to costly engine problems down the road.
