is it ok to fill my sprinter with this kind of diesel?

as the title says, is it ok to use this diesel for my 2021 Merc Sprinter 4 cyl diesel? when i bought the car, the salesman was adamant that i only fill it with B5 and nothing else. would this cause any damage to the engine and other internal parts? i think the wording on the pump is a little misleading as it says it is 99% biomass based diesel or biodiesel and then says below that biomass based diesel =\= biodiesel.

there is a shell station a little farther from where i live with B5, but this costco is more convenient. thanks for the help!

should i change my tires before a road trip?

i’m taking a family trip in june with my 2021 sprinter 2500 passenger 4cyl diesel from the Bay Area to LA, OC, SD, and generally all around southern California. will these tires last the whole trip or should i err on the side of caution and replace them? the dealer has been telling me for a couple years i need to replace them but the tread has looked fine to me. for more info, our van will be packed w/ 10-12 ppl every day. ive labeled the tires and the sides. thanks!
