    BP Ultimate seems to be the one that's recommended.

    But I've never used it because very few petrol stations in Canberra have it.

    Have a look here

    Caltex vortex premium diesel

    It seem that either premium diesels Caltex Vortex or BP Ultimate is preferred.

    The no bio diesel refers to bio diesel percentage over 5%. Your handbook states that up to 5% biodiesel is acceptable. When you read the above link, it may be preferable to have a <5% bio diesel mix as it improves the lubricity of the diesel which helps the high pressure fuel pumps.
