I live in Pennsylvania and all diesel is supposed to have 2% bio in it. Does that mean I should be running the ford oil recommendations for biodiesel?
Do you mean 5K oil changes and 10K fuel filter changes? - Well, I do that regardless of what type of fuel I purchase. If you travel a lot/far, there is no way to tell anyway. I also use the recommended dose of Opti-Lube summer blend with every tank.
I was refering to the oil weight. The filler cap read indicates a different weight oil if using Bio. I am not sure using 2% Bio means that I should switch from the 10W-30.

Straight from the Diesel Supplement Manual
10W-30 (normal usage)
1For severe duty usage, use SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4.
2For biodiesel (grades B6-B20) usage, use SAE 5W-40 or SAE
15W-40 API CJ-4.
Looks like that is only for B6 - B20 Bio-diesel
If you are using B2 then I say stick with the 10w-30 unless you are in some extreme cold.
