To change oil or not to change?
OK have 7k miles on my ILX and the oil minder says 30%. Going on a 3k mile trip so by the time I get home I will be at 10k miles, doubt I can make it home before it is 0% or below. Figure for the good of my warranty I don't want to be on the road and be below 0%. Comments/advise?

check the upcoming code that will be popping up (then you know what to do and not miss a service). then just get the oil changed so the car wont' nag you on your trip. unless you have time to hunt down a place to do theoil change for you. i'm anal...so i only let my dealer touch the car (and they are lucky i even allow them to do that).

I'd recommend having it changed before your 3,000 mile trip, but that's just me.

I would most definitely change the oil. I change my oil every four months regardless of the km's (I don't do much driving) never had a engine problem and in fact when I change my oil its so clear I have a hard time gauging the level its the cheapest maintenance you can do to your car and protect your investment unless its a lease.
