My wife had an oil / filter change and tire rotation done on her 2007 Honda CR-V SUV right before our two week long Denver to S.Calif road trip. She was just over her recommended service interval so it made sense to get it done.... especially since we were about to put another 3000 miles on the SUV through some rough road conditions going over the rocky mountains and then through the desert like conditions through AZ and NV as well as some pretty hot stretches of S.CA.
We just returned a few days ago and put about 2700 miles on the vehicle. She'll get another oil / filter change in the next couple weeks.
BTW, fully loaded with luggage, two golf club sets, cooler full of goodies, and my electronic gadgets and laptop, we averaged about 26mpg. Not bad for a loaded SUV. The fully loaded iPod came in handy too played through the AUX input on the car stereo. ;-)
P.S. Check your tire pressure too (while totally cool) before your trip. Have fun!
