Should I listen to it or change the oil anyway? According to the manual I should base oil changes on the system info (computers) recommendation. I know for a fact it has regular oil in it, not synthetic.

Today's oils (conventional oil too, not just synthetic) are so vastly superior to oils made even 20 years ago that yes, you are ok to believe what the truck computer says. Yes, modern oils are that good.
