How many more miles can I drive before I really need an oil change?

I am at 104,558, but my next oil change was suppose to be at 103,552. I want to drive to Arkansas tonight. It is about 7 hours away. Can I make it without damaging my car? I will get an oil change in the morning.How many more miles can I drive before I really need an oil change?
Oil is much better now. Most makes should go between 3,000 and 6,000 miles between changes with no issues, especially on the highway miles. Good luck. Peace.
id just check it since its not due to be changed yet you,ll be fine on driving it,normally people get their oil changed about every 3-5 thousand miles,on today's cars so you should be fine on it,if your running conventional oil in it try and not go over 5 thousand at the most on it,with synthetic oil you can go as high as 8-10 thousand on it and it still wont cause no problems,with conventional oil though it can cause a sludge build up in the engine if you continuously run it at higher miles,good luck.How many more miles can I drive before I really need an oil change?
there is supposed to be an oil change every 3000 miles. if you really want to drive there. check the oil level first-(under the hood there will be a little ring, usually yellow or orange pull it and read the oil level). make sure that there is enough in your engine..if not then add 1/4 quart at a time to make sure you dont over fill it. also use the correct grade-(5w-30)

if you dont know which grade to use look in your manual or on american cars it usually says on the oil cap.. so its not neccisary but make sure you get an oil change asap because you dont want anything to go wrong otherwise its pricey. good luck
depends on when it was last changed. if 104,xxx is 3,000 from the last chnage i would say you would be ok.. as long as you don't drive alot on dusty roads. I would chnage it though becaus ei'm picky, but no damage to your engine should be doneHow many more miles can I drive before I really need an oil change?
You will be ok, Just make sure your oil is full and get it changed as soon as you can. Dirty oil is better then no oil.
It will be alright as long as it has been kept up with previously but if not i wouldnt do it. it can cause extreme sludge build up but still wont cause a lot of damage.
Check and be sure you have it full.



Do you change it every 3000 or every 7000?




like coca-col said, just make sure your oil is full, you'll be fine.
