Oil Change While Traveling

What do you folks do about oil changes when traveling? I normally change my own oil, I don't really trust the lube places to do it properly. I'm planning a summer trip of at least 6000 miles and will need to do a change before getting home.

I install a Fumoto quick oil change valve on all my vehicles and that makes changing my engine oil very easy, and also reduces the chances of the oil drain plug threads in the oil pan getting stripped. lf you had one of these installed and are prepared to bring along a drain pan and filter wrench then changing your own oil when travelling would be very easy.
