Sorta - it's true what you say about mobil, etc. making Cats, Ih, JD, etc oil. I also agree with you about running 15w40.

But where you are mislead is that low ash is not directly associated with extended drains. Mobil for example on their 1300 series is up around 1.3% (off the top of my head) ash. Which I do consider low-ash, but according to manufacturers recomendations, they want .5% or less, so that wouldn't make 1300 low-ash but it IS mobil's extended drain oil. I'm reasonable sure that I can say it's pretty much the same across the board for all the majors.
