Which is part of the Oil product you buy and this subject was about what Oil Product you buy.

I use canola oil. It smells better.

Explain this one, 2005 Pete 379, with a c15 Cat engine, sticker on drivers side frame rail says "Factory filled with Chevron Delo"

Why? Cat has their own oil, and I have heard from tons of Cat people that it comes in the same shipment as thier Mobil oil.

Is that a Peterbilt "factory fill?"

BTW, I personally use Castrol's Tection oil, but thats my own truck, My dad treats the others to Delvac.

Sure do, its made by texaco

They also have their own anti-freeze (red color) thats made by Texaco also, just ask them at Cat and they will tell you who makes what.

Only if you empty your pee jug into the cooling system.
