Let me suggest that if you're changing your oil mid-trip that you buy the appropriate oil filter. Don't know if in this late a time you can get a Mann or Mahl oil filter or not, but by all means avoid FRAM. WIX is good but might also be hard to find. I'm sure others can help you here too but it will make a difference. Also, you'll need an aluminum washer for the drain plug. If you have to, reuse the old one, but the diameter of the washer you need is exactly size of a dime for the inside and exactly the size of a quarter for the outside...Good luck and keep us informed on how your trip goes.
