You have no reason to change it. You'll have plenty of life lert in it when yo get back. As long as you don't do a top speed run for half the trip. The synthetic will probably leave you with more life than what shows.
"Change it to be safe." What the heck does that mean?
Then again, some people use 100 dollar bills to light a cigar.

I agree with Evil Twin...
There is absolutely no need to change your oil.
Your car should get 10,000 miles out of Mobil 1.
Most of us don't drive that much, so we change once per year.
Even if you change it immediately after you get back you will still be at 5,000 miles and 7 months.
So save the money, enjoy another dinner in Florida and change it when you get back.
