Check with your dealer. And check also the manual. I've heard many recommendations of NOT using such kind of Diesel.

First and less hurting is that the difference does not really justify the price.
Second and much more to be evaluated is that it seems these kind of Diesels are too poor in sulfur that has lubricant properties. So using regularly VPower Diesl might cause some issues to the engine.

It's true that it seems to have "cleaning" properties, I believe that using it every (say) 4-5 gas fills may help, but I wouldn't use it more frequently.
