9000 Miles...suggestions

[Skeletor03]

So I am at 9000 miles and I am leaving for Outer Banks, North Carolina from Baltimore, MD (300 miles) on Saturday. I have an oil change and tire rotation schedule for Wednesday. I am on the fence to go ahead with the oil change before my 600+ road trip. I wanted to see if people would wait and go afterwards or go ahead and do it prior. Let me know...thanks!

Are you worried that the dealer is going to mess something up before your trip? I always take care of maintenance before a trip. They (in theory) should check tire pressure and other safety items as well.

No I am not worried. Just wondering if I should get it done now with only 9000 miles or wait till after the trip.

Not really sure what the question is. If you are asking whether or not to get your 10K service now at 9,000 or wait until after your trip of 600 miles, I don't think it would make a bit of difference either way. If it were me, I would take my trip and wait until i was at 10k miles, then have the appropriate service done.
