  1. Mechanically yes, but it will invalidate your warranty.  Most manufacturers warranties allow for 5% blend of biodiesel, but I can't imagine how they would know if your car was running on more than that should it be necessary to have any work done under warranty.


  2. It doesn't matter whether it's made from waste oil or new oil, as long as it's made to the standard spec. http://www.biodiesel.org/resources/fuelf...

    They'll know you were running biodiesel when your engine lasts longer than usual.  Biodiesel has better lubricity than diesel.

  3. I have a 2007 Zafira Sri Diesel, and often wondered if i can too.... problem is i do not have a garage near me that sells the stuff.....

    Tried looking on the net, and found this site that may help you out a bit more....

    Good luck.... would really like to know if you find out anything positive either way.

  4. don't know, but do you really want to? Given the choice I'd stay well clear of it (unless you brew your own or know the garage sell biodiesel made exclusively from W.V.O.
