On an engine that new it should not be much. If it is all highway miles, that is easier on the engine than stop and go traffic miles.
I would check the engine oil before you leave. It should have a blueish brown color with an oily sheen and have some body. Give it a sniff and it should smell like oil, not gas. If thge oil is flat, dark and watery, it needs to be changed. I have a 1997 Tahoe that I regularly take on 200 mile trips (at least every month). I always check the fluids and tire air pressure before I leave. I also check the same before I head back. If necessary, I can find a Chevy dealership in most towns to handle a fluid replacement. >I bought an F-150 brand new late last year (2006 model) and I plan on >taking it on a 500 mile trip, probably drive a couple hundred miles >over the course of a week and then drive 500 miles home 5 days after >getting there.
