Anything labeled API CJ-4 will work, which pretty much anything you find on the shelf today. There are still some older CI-4+ oils around, but not many.

We have 15 trucks including 3 with C15s and we run the same oil as the rest of our trucks and we have had zero issues.

As Heath said, just about any diesel motor oil on the shelf today will be compliant, if in doubt check the back label, there'll be a circle with the rating in it,and it'll also note that the oil is compatible with earlier specs. That'd be on gallon and quart jugs, I assume it'd be on the label on 55 gallon drums. If you're getting oil delivered to bulk tanks, the supplier should be able to provide a spec sheet. Just felt like overanalyzing that, thank you for your time.

Any CJ-4 oil will work just fine. Delo, Rotella, Delvac, Valvoline Premium Blue etc etc. Check the API donut on the back of the bottom or on the tag on the drum...should look like this:
