OK, hopefully some guys with petroleum expertise will chime in...but.... I have came to the conclusion that the "low ash oil" edict is a hoax. I have done "some" reading on the internet, I am NOT an expert. All I have read, the major oil companies advertise a oil designed for natural gas or LP use, they advertise low soot buildup, low carbon/sludge build up. BUT, they make the same claims of low soot etc for all their engine lubricants. Ash is an abrasive. What oil refinery would market oil in any form for any application with an abrasive in it? I have talked to a few old timers over coffee the past few mornings. These are guys that were in their prime as farmers and mechanics when tractors and combines were primarily powered by LP or Butane (they talk of 4-5 cents a gallon). They to a man have never heard of having to use low ash oil in these machines (made by MM, IH, JD, Case, Massey Harris etc etc etc.) If I am wrong, I will gladly listen and rethink my stance. For now I think the low ash claim is hooey. I am going to put Mystic JT-8 Heavy Duty SAE-30 (all the same claims of low soot and 32.00 for 5 gal)in my 806 LP. I am not going to be pulling anything with it. It is just a loader/utility tractor now, boring post holes, feeding hay, box blade work and the like. If the valves burn, I guess I will be out a top end rebuild. Please chime in with experiences.
