It states that, among other things, that Mercedes Benz only wishes for MB Coolant or an "aftermarket equivelent". IMO, MB don't want to test the coolants. They can convince enough people to buy their product, by creating official doubt on all aftermarket coolants, including G-05. Also, cite the official instruction on the use of a 50/50 mix of MB Coolant and Distilled Water. Very Interesting.
Thanks, God Bless,

On page 5 of the article, it reads, "If you buy your anti-freeze from an aftermarket source, use a reputable brand that meets current Mercedes-Benz formulation, typically labeled a G-05 coolant..."
