The warnings I have seen have been on Low Sulfer Diesel (NOT ULSD) and specify that it should not be used in 2007 or later models. From what I understand the 07 models are built to take ULTRA low sulfer diesel, not low sulfer diesel. I believe low sulfer diesel is the same stuff we've been using in the past ... they just added the warning in anticipation of the upcoming transition in new cars.
