Low Oil Viscosity

I was on a trip from West Virginia to Canada pulling a fishing boat, on the way home the CHL light came on and the note was Low oil viscosity (oil pressure was good) The suggestion was change the oil. I had just changed the oil before starting trip with Rotella 5-40 6. Suddenly the truck started loosing power, I was able to finish trip with reduced power (sucked). Came home changed the oil reset CEL and it came back on with same note. Started research and the conclusion was when the garage had changed the oil they hadn't reset the change oil note in the truck computer. The computer thought I had 26,000 miles without oil change so it cut back on power trying to force maintenance. Reset the check oil alarm and all problems went away. Hope this may prevent someone else from going through this Thanks Mopar Poor
