Default spaten oktoberfest co2 volumes

Anyone have any ideas on the CO2 volumes in a Spaten Oktoberfest keg? I'm running at 10 psi at 39 degrees and it seems fine but I'm afraid I'm losing pressure in that beer every time I pour.

I called the breweries USA office and they were of no assistance.

Any ideas or guesstimates?

Oktoberfests will typically fall between 2.57 and 2.73 volumes of CO2. You would certainly want to bump your pressure up to maintain those levels. I don't have a chart in front of me but I would guess you want it between 14-15 lbs at sea level. If the beer comes out too fast you can put a longer beer line to slow down the flow.
