If you're the manufacturer, you look for things to state "void the warranty". 
Run non-MB anti-freeze, void the warranty. etc etc.
Have to admit, if I had a new 2005 CDI, I wouldn't be putting Burger King grease in it. |
No guarantees that 'saudi sludge' would be any better.. You all know what fuel quality is like in this country sometimes... I wouldn't run WVO in a new CDI, but I'd cautiously and carefully run fuel that I knew to be ASTM spec, even if it originally came from recycled oil.
Voiding the warranty is a tricky thing.. I know there have been legal battles over what sorts of things a car company can legally 'void your warranty' over, and fuel isn't usually one of them. I suppose time will tell how the CDIs deal with our methyl ester buddies...
