I'm not aware of any 'oil light' indicating that the oil should be changed, and I have the same 2005 Vectra 36RD w/CAT C7 (purchased new). What light exactly are you talking about? How is it labelled?KandT said:Another issue on my list.
My mechanic said to change the oil every year or 10-12,000 miles. The Winnie oil light came on at about 5,000.
What's everyone doing with a Cat C7?

You must have the TripTek computer then, because I don't and I don't have any such light.KandT said:It?s on the backup camera screen and it is designated as an oil can. For a newbie to the rig it is a real pain to get turned off!
It is a GREAT rig but the previous owner just kinda stopped the small upkeep things. It had 15k miles on it and now just over 20k.
I'm running a C7 and have been changing at about 10, however I'm thinking about reducing that to more like 7 - seems pretty dark (dirty) by 10K. If you're not doing this already, I would suggest an oil analysis with every changeKandT said:Have you been changing oil at 10k??
