Yes... it's generally better to use it in a pre-EPA2010 engine, and know also that you'll probably need to replace your fuel filters shorty after switching to biodiesel, as it has a detergent effect which releases the sediment at the bottom of the fuel tanks. Be aware also that with a full biodiesel solution you'll experience a 12 - 20% decrease in BTUs produced, meaning less power.
