If from a reptable source and good 2 micron filter and water seperator.(factory is enough even on dino) B20 should be just fine. This time of year I wouldn't do much more due to geling. I have ran b100 before in the summer with no ill effects.

B20 is full of crap (water, dirt, rust), and like mentioned above, need a 2 mic filter, otherwise you'll plug off injectors.

B20 or BXX is related to bio diesel. the number ie 20 is the percentage of bio diesel to petro diesel. As stated need to ensure it s reputable source and the stuff hasn't been sitting in the tanks for ever b/c some people scare people from using with out valid reasons. If you want to get it go a truck stop and ask how much they sell. if they say i don't know or not alot you might want to go else where. farm co-op are usually the best place and they only get what they need so it is usually the freshest

I run 100% BioDiesel 24/7. Of course I make my own so I know the the quality. I also put in a AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver to help in the winter. Make it your self and enjoy the money saved.
