Oil change early or late before road trip?

Have they heard about these new inventions called Helicopters?

They wanto keep thelicopters, with life-saving personnel and equipment, available for patient treatment and transport.
Usually we can get what is needed to the hospital before they run out.
Sometimes a little close.

Years ago, RX350 in the garage on plastic ramps.
Loosening the oil drain plug, oil getting on my fingers, naturally a hospital calls. Answer the cordless telephone while on my back.
Tightened the oil plug, screwed the under-cover panel back on, washed, dressed and departed.

After the several hundred mile transport, I went to the local Walmart and bought Mobil1 5-quart container and filter.
Walmart kindly allowed me to change the oil there and I found a raised cement pad.
Rolled the front wheels onto it and it worked well.
Drained the hot oil and poured the used oil into Walmart’s used oil tank.

Glad to drive home with fresh clean oil.
