Always use the Oxford comma. No one will ever convince me the alternative is better to communicate.

Two different English professors taught me not to use it, and I haven't used it since then.

Always use it.

You use it when listing items in everything EXCEPT when using AP Style.

One of many things AP is wrong on.
