calling a girl "oğlum" is wrong for boys it is right.you can call a girl "kızım" but it is a rude way sometimes.especially if you are angry when you say it.
a boy calling his gf "oğlum" is really hyper-slang

Could you perhaps use "oğlum" for a girl in the same way that the Americans often use the word "Dude" for both guys and girls?

i think it is possibble to use it like "dude".
but female version actually is "kızım" not "oğlum"
i think American female version is "dudette", right?

-you call your older brother "abi".
-you also call someone "abi" who is a male and a little older than you.if he is too much older than you you dont call him abi.
-you also call someone who is a male and younger than you -even if he is a child- to encourage him.little boys feel better when you call them "abi" they feel as if they are adults.
-if you call your gf "abi" this completely slang.

Some men use slang terms like "oğlum" "abi" in their daily conversations so much that, even when they are with their female friends, these words just come out of their mouths without even them being consious.

if it was "abe" exactly. I think he lives in Trakya region of Turkey. In example in Edirne, Tekirdağ, Kırklareli... And it expresses sincerity like "ho!" in English.

it is better calling people in their names.Serious people never use that "oğlum" in conversations.if you are not serious you can of course call your friends "oğlum" "kızım" "lan" "ulan" etc.
one thing:older people may use these words "oğlum,kızım,çocuğum etc." to show their affection and that is good.

Maybe. But I have heard it in Balıkesir, Konya and in Van, too. But of course I didn´t know the origin of the people who told "ağbey" [a:bi:] and "oğlum".

yes it is slang , it is everyday conversation but sometimes it is really negative:
for example:if you use the word "oğlum" when you are querreling it will not be taken "positive".

If you werent very close friends the situation refers to father and son relation.
Generally who use "oğlum" assumes to be a superior person.
I think it is a word of bad language.
