Lube Oil:
According to the sticker located on the frame of the Peterbuilt, the engine was factory filled will 11 gallons of Chevron Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40.
In the ISX15 engine owner's manual, it is suggested that the oil to be used is Valvoline sythetic with the same SAE 15W-40. I wonder why they chose to not use the recommended brand... food for thought.
Here is a link to the MSDS for the specified oil: https://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/MSDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=302386
Here is what the manufacturer had to say about this oil:
" Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 (API CJ-4)
Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 is formulated to meet the requirements of post-2007 low emission engines equiped with advanced emission control technologies. Provides outstanding performance with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and also with normal and low sulfur diesel fuels, Delo 400 LE is backward compatible and may be used in older, conventional engines and gasoline engines.
