oil change or not?

Hi All,
Amongst the advice on running costs for a Bongo on the 'Buying a Bongo' part of the site we're told we need to do an oil change at 3000 miles and a filter change at 6000, which I've duly done since buying my lovely Freda.
Dumb question I'm sure - but what happens if I don't? I'm not planning on giving up on oil changes altogether (!) but I'm about to make a substantial trip abroad
(probably 1500 miles worth of driving) and I'm not due a routine change for another 1000 miles.
Can I wait till I get back or will something terrible happen (fire and brimstone? plague of frogs?) if I run the van beyond its scheduled change? See - told you it was a dumb question. Smart answers welcome!
thanks KMJGSS
