Jeep Grand Cherokee 2020. Was supposed to get an oil change at 38,500 miles. I’m at 43,500 miles and I’m about to take a 400 mile round trip drive. Can I wait until I get back from the trip?

    I would change the oil as soon as possible. If your shops and dealerships are packed with appointments, simply do it yourself. You just need a container to catch the oil, 1 wrench that fits your plug, a new filter which is less than 15 bucks, and enough oil that the disptick reads a normal level. 1 trip to the store, maybe 50 for oil, filter and a cheap wrench and 5 minutes under the car and you’re done. Sorry if I sound patronizing, but premature engine wear isn’t worth the convenience of simply putting it off for another day
