120 Miles past Red Maintanence indicator
My car needs to be serviced and the logo is already red past 120 miles. The problem is that i cannot get it serviced until thursday because i am going to be very busy this week. driving about 50 miles a day, will i be okay until thursday? of course I should avoid high revs and letting the engine warm up before taking it past 3000rpm if i ever have to.
What should i do?

It ain't gonna break just because a service is due. Don't seat it and drive normally. The service is just routine mainenace and going over isn't a big deal.

its just a light for you to go to the dealer and they can tell you what they should fix, drive it normally how u would drive it. I just hit 60,000 service and just reset it

Bad advice. Owners manual is clear that you should not add oil until the indicator shows low not because you are overdue for an oil change. Adding oil runs the risk of overfilling which is not a good thing for an engine.

You should be okay until Thursday and you do not need to top off oil until you get the low oil indicator.

It's implied you don't add oil if you're not running low.
