You could just use a synthetic all though not cheaper.

If I recall correctly Castrol GTX 10W30 was actually lower in sulfated ash than "IH" branded low ash oil. Most good engines oils out there are "low ash" but maybe not quite as low as the "Low Ash" IH brand. This site has a chart that shows the ash % on many well known brands. If I recall correctly IH "Low Ash" is .9%.

Then you have people that recommend diesel engine oil for gas engines which actually contain very high levels of sulfated ash (several times the level in "Low Ash" oil).
