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?

    You just did 5,000 miles of engine damage. What’s another 400 miles? Do you think the engine is new again when you change the oil? The engine damage remains, it isn’t reversible. Just don’t be surprised when it needs the engine replaced and you wonder why anything could have happened to it.

      That’s an asinine comment, if he did 5000 miles of engine damage he should buy a lottery ticket.

        Running a full oil change interval and then going 5,000 miles more did engine damage. Because I can guarantee this isn’t the first time the oil wasn’t changed on time. It also wasn’t checked and topped off during the over extended interval. Afraid to even ask what oil was used.
