Advantage of Using Biodiesel

May 29, 2010
Posted by Matthew King

The physical and chemical properties of biodiesel are similar to petroleum based diesel in terms of operation of compression ignition engines. Therefore, biodiesel can be used in diesel vehicles without expensive alterations to the engine or fuel system. The other major benefits of using biodiesel include the following:

Biodiesel is biodegradable, non toxic and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics.

Improved lubricity

High cetane number

Improved conductivity, particularly for Ultra Low Sulfur fuel

AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Oils extended drain interval recommendations do NOT apply to vehicles using biodiesel fuels at any mix ratios with petroleum diesel. When using biodiesel fuels at any mix ratio, follow the OEM recommended oil drain interval.
