Chevron delo 15-40 in Vermeer 935 w/ Perkins

[Dead Cottonwood]

Doing first oil change on bc935 that I just bought. Takes 15-40 and have tons of chevron delo. Will this oil be ok instead of a CS-1 grade oil?

Is the engine a diesel? If so, it should be just fine, Delo is a diesel oil.

Yes, it has the Perkins. Thanks for the input. I know I’m probably being paranoid, I just want to make sure I’m putting the right stuff in

You probably are, pretty much all modern oils from the big name manufacturers are fairly equivalent. We have a Bandit 1590 with a Perkins that has 7800 hours, and has never been rebuilt. For the last 3k hours at least it’s been given a steady diet of Warren 15w-40 synthetic oil and its been quiten happy.

What is CS-1 oil exactly, anyway? I can’t find anything about such an oil even existing, the two letters are actually contradictory unless there’s a new class of oil I’ve never heard of. Usually “C” oils are for compression ignition engines, and “S” oils are for spark ignition engines.

Yeah just used the delo. I misspelled that. I meant CI. After a more thorough google searched I learned the ck delo surpasses all standards of the CI. It’s the first chipper I’ve owned since starting my own company so I’m still getting all the maintenance details figured out and really want to make sure I’m doing it properly so your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks again!

That makes more sense. And yes, CK is superior to CI rated oil, CK is the newest level of standard.

I understand about maintenance when you first get started, I was there myself once. Maintenance is very important, keep up on it and your equipment will serve you well for a very long time.
