RTFM
But I think it's around 5,000, but that is wild guessing based on a foggy memory, could be way off.
Again, read the manual...should say something about it.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Assuming you have an 8th or 9th gen car, the maintenance wrench light comes on when the oil life is 15%.

It could be 4000 miles, it could be 12,000 miles. It all depends on how you drive.
