I know that this may turn into a long, drawn out, post, but I am curious, what exactly does the mercedes benz coolant do that regular coolants dont? The coolants I have used forever (Pureflo and Texaco) both cite a Mercedes Specification on the back of the bottle. Why then is the MB Coolant so superior to the standard coolant? I live pretty far from a dealer, so if I needed coolant, I couldn't get it unless I drove 50 miles, save if I use an aftermarket brand. I do not like the GM Dex-Cool and would not use it in anything that wasn't cursed with it from the factory, but I would like to get a clear and final answer to this question. For what particular reason or reasons is MB coolant superior and worth the trouble to get for a Mercedes Benz rather than using a quality aftermarket alternative?
Happy New Year,
Dave.
