Ram website says....
EFFICIENCY
The innovative available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine began with a block of compacted graphite iron and aluminum twin-cam heads. Then we added B20 biodiesel capability and standard Active Grille Shutters. The Ram 1500 is the only light-duty truck to offer a diesel powertrain for its entire lineup( Disclosure8).

Owners manual says not to exceed 7%. Typical FCA conflicting info, just like the oil we are supposed to use. I ran B20 in my powerstroke 3.0 for 50k with oil changes every 5k on Rotella. Never and issues. Had each change sent to Blackstone and could have stretched changes to 12-14k miles even on B20. Any thoughts on this?

It would run fine the issue is fuel in oil dilution.

There's 3 guys at work who used to buy rapeseed ( canola oil ) and run their diesels on it. Regular diesel is cheaper now but many prefer to mix some bio in since the HPFP self destructs with the poor lubrication Ultra Low Sulfur diesel has now.
