Change Engine Oil Soon Indicator

On my truck, 2017 6.7 Platinum, I do not get my "Change Engine Oil Soon" light at 10% oil life remaining. On the last iteration, the dealer said it should come on at 5%,. not 10%. The manual, on page 137, says 10%. If that is messed up, maybe something else is.

The last time I brought it in. The Mechanic reset the indicator, and no further troubleshooting could be done. I am going to try again while it is still under warranty.

Does the indicator come on at 10% for everyone else?

You got it at 10%....

The manual says 10%...

The dealer said 5%....

Need I say more? Dealers aren't smarter than the books written by the guys who actually built the truck.

Hopefully the mechanic did that troubleshooting process of changing the oil, and not just resetting the indicator.

In reality, the difference between 10% and 5% is what, 350 - 400 miles (7000-8000 mile intervals)?

I see it is at 10% due to my Vehicle Health Report. I do not get a light on the dash to ever come on. Not at 10%, not at 5% the last time it went there.

At this point, if I was not paying attention to mileage or the health report, I would never need to change oil at all...

Ah ok sorry, was confusing. Sounded like it came on at 10%.
