i doubt one oil change at 7,000 will hurt it. with today's oil thats not an uncommon change interval. Just keep an eye on the level each morning, or at fuel stops.

Buy your own oil and filter and take it to anyone that changes oil and just have them use your stuff and pay the labor, probably $10-15.
Careful, your character's showing!

Take 5qts of Bradd Penn & a wix filter & a shallow pan & a crescent wrench & an oil filter wrench & several clean rags & a can of spray brake kleen & change it in Portland. You could put the used oil in 2 empty gallon antifreeze jugs & O'reillys & others will take the used oil. Need a funnel also. You go in & dump it in their 55 gal barrell

I'm glad you got my back. Those small (2&1/4 ton iirc) hyd floor jacks fit in the trunk easily & are handy
Surely nobody is suggesting he crawl under a vehicle supported by a jack...
