[Farmall] low ash oil

[Charlie V]

John,

This from Mobil on their web site:

Question:
What Are the Benefits of Low Ash Oil?
What are the benefits of using "low ash" oil? I have some Mobil 1 low
ash for my Mercedes diesel. Can it be used elsewhere?
-- Lawrence Yont, State College, PA

Answer:
Low ash oils typically are used for diesel vehicles that have a DPF
(Diesel Particulate Filter) so the carryover oil that makes it into
the exhaust system does not foul the particulate filter.  We recommend
you use the low ash oils for these applications. In the future, low
ash oils will probably become more of a standard and will be
acceptable for use in other applications as well.

I know we all have our favorites, but the above does not make it seem
a benefit for gasoline engines.

I've got a 2072 that has never had anything in it but that and remember several Cadet customers of the dealer dad worked at that swore by the stuff. I just ordered some from my IH dealer and it is over $6 per quart. I wish their was something cheaper that is just as good. Anybody here found a good substitution?
