Gasser Extended Trip and Oil Changes

We have an extended trip out west this summer planned which will include about 7500 miles of driving. We have a 2017 Tiffin 35 QBA Ford gasser chassis. The Ford manual says you can go 7500 miles between oil changes without towing. I am planning an oil change to Motorcraft synthetic oil before we go. I would like to avoid having to get service during our trip. Sound good to you all?

No need to change during your trip. Do it before you leave and when you get back. I assume Bumpy was making a point that who really gets their oil change to the exact mile. Sometimes I do mine at 7k, sometimes at 8k. No harm in either case.

I assume you are not towing?

Sure sounds good to go. Just be sure to check the level now and then.

You're set. Just check it from time to time and bring an extra quart
