change oil message?

Tom,
I noticed my '05 chevy truck started having longer change intervals when I switched to Valvoline synthetic @ around 45,000 miles. I had been using what ever brand the local oil changer used. Now I do the change myself. I just guessed the computer figured out the oil lasted longer. Mileage did increase, too.
