    Soy Bio is supposed to be good for the lubricity if added to regular, but maybe the other part to this would be HOW do you find Bio if you DO run it.

    Yes, I could run my mog on that, debatable on good / bad for modern Diesels.

    Doesn't it require a different filter?

    CFF as far as I know NO, the issues are how good the lubricity is. (I've always heard/thought it was BETTER but some say no) How it flows in cooler weather, requiring heating and starting on regular Dino Diesel. And lastly at least WVO Bio attacks the seals in some fuel systems, swelling/softening them. Mercedes are some of the easiest to convert. There's a thread on DF on a Common rail conversion but it's INVOLVED, BIGTIME.

    Bumping this up, hope a Bio guy sees this.

    Yea, some say slightly less to slightly MORE HP on Bio, IDK the performance limits though.
