Default Partial oil change

Hey there

My oil gauge on the dash is at 40%, didn't have time for an oil change as I need to go on a trip.
I've used one of those suction pumps and took out 3 quarts of used engine oil and added 3 quarts of new oil.
So there still was a 1.2 quarts of old oil in the engine, and the old filter as well.
So the car has 3 quarts of new oil and 1.2 quarts of the old one plus the filter.

Can I get away with doing this for the next 2000 miles? I'll change it next month, but rn did not have the time.

Thanks
