Verdad Gallardo its not 1k trip its 2k+ trip, in my head I was thinking just going their, but not coming back hahah. I alway brought 5 quart and 1 new oil filter, cause few year back we travel on friend car and his oil filter blow ( dam fram ), so we stuck in middle of no where without oil, we wait 4 hours to the tow truck to come, so from that day I alway bough oil and filter with me, just incase.

[QUOTE=fleetmgr;13640497]In my 35 years of driving, I've only ever seen that happen once (blow the filter off), and this is the second time I've even heard of it happening. The one I saw was an Acura, on an autocross track. Sure made for a slippery corner

I just took a 600 mile trip. St Paul to mt rushmore. 1200 mile total. I changed the oil before I left and everything went fine. 140k on mostly stock 95 lt1 camaro. Every fill up I averaged about 20 Mpg when my gf drove for 1 tank she got 27 mpg. So expect to fill about every 275 miles or so. Unless you don't want to have Fun. Then more like 325. But then why drive the camaro in the first place? Good luck with your oil filter.
