How Far Can You Drive After Change Filter & Oil?

Hey Guys,

Quick question. I usually always get my oil and maintenance on time. Car has reached 50k and I got the service on my nav saying the oil and filter needs to be replaced.

I got super busy and I probably drove it an additional 800 km after that!

I was going to bring it into service this weekend but was thinking since it might snow here soon I was gonna store the car - in which when I pull it out in spring I hear you have to do an oil change anyways since the car has been idle for so long.

So my question is (so much for quick question lol) - is it OK I still drive the car short distance and stuff and just park it for the winter or have I really gone over the limit and should get oil change and maintenance ASAP?

I called the dealership and they said the service that is due for the car is gonna be around $600 or something (which includes the oil and filter change)
