How do I know when to change the oil in my Volkswagen Polo?

I just purchased a Volkswagen Polo and I'm not sure when I should be changing the oil. Can someone guide me on the recommended intervals for oil changes?

It's recommended to change your oil every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

If you're frequently driving in stop-and-go traffic or using your car for towing, you may want to consider changing your oil more frequently.

Some newer Volkswagen models have an oil life monitor that will alert you when it's time to change your oil.
