How bad to extend oil change interval?

[jruhnke]

Argh. Didn't feel like I had flown much this year, 'cause my plane was in the shop an awful lot. But I just checked my logs, and I've already got 60 hrs since my last oil change, and I was planning to take a ~5-6 hr trip this weekend.

How big a deal is this? Should I postpone my departure and go change the oil?

I probably have this flight and maybe another 4-6 hrs of flying before the plane goes down for annual in about 3 weeks. Is it okay to stretch to ~70-75 hrs this time, if I promise not to ever do it again?
