Hello and welcome to JustAnswer, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I have over 21 years in this field. I'm so sorry for your inconvenience and hopefully, I can help. When the change oil light comes on you still have some time to drive until you change your oil. Just have him check the oil level to make sure is where is supposed to be. Good luck.
Still not sure what you need?

My boyfriend is on a road trip and his oil light has come on. He's curious how far he can go before he needs to either add oil or have the oil changed? I told him not to mess with it and to pull over and at the very least add some oil. Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, what are the exact lights you're talking about? His oil change light has come on. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2007 Lexus ES 350 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your ES 350 yourself? What have you tried so far? He will eventually take it to have the oil changed professionally, but he was hoping to get to his destination before having to do that. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I don't believe so.
