This weekend I'm going to the track and doing a 500 miles roadtrip, (to the track and back). The dealer changed my oil at 1300miles (in march 2018) and I'm now at 2400 miles. My Mustang Ecoboost is a garage queen, I usually only drive short trips or cruising in the weekends.
I checked the oil life monitor and it said 10%. I checked the oil level, which was still plenty but the oil has a gas smell, probably because of the short drives. The oil didn't look dirty though just a strong gas smell.
Will I be fine doing the trip and tracking the car or not? I can't make an appointment in time and I don't have equipment to change the oil myself. I know I should've checked earlier but the decision to go to the track was made very late.
I don't want to do any harm to the car I'm willing to keep this car a long time even if this would mean skipping the trackday.
