Low ash oil is for the gasoline engines only. Do not use it in the diesel engines.
The reason for using low ash oil in the gasoline engines is that they are prone to carbon buildup on the exhaust valve stems. This can cause the vale to stick open which burns out the valve. IH Low Ash Oil is .5% ash.
IH Diesel oils are about 2% ash. The ash content is to counter the sulfur in the unburned fuel that enters the crankcase. The higher the ash content the longer the engine can go between oil changes.
Low ash oils are usually listed as oil for LPG engines. LP does not leave fuel residue in the crankcase so they do not need the ash to stop acid build up in the oil.
