Colour is hard to tell, it is not colour of the compound but more like an additive colour so same coolant can be yellow, blue green etc
In any event Mercedes coolant probably is based on G48 (or maybe G05) and in theory any G48-based coolant should be essentially identical
G05® – Silicate-free OAT coolant ǀ Glysantin®
It seems G05 is "particularly recommended for iron blocks... and MB sheet 325.0" so maybe ist besser
But anyway you can probably just put anything in there with you out in ME, just put something so the water doesn't rust the block (maybe a little antifreeze of virtually any type) |
Thanks
It seems that G-05 is the yellow stuff (Zerex G-05 seems to be identical:
http://www.englefieldoil.com/PDF/Zerex_chart.pdf) and I have seen a lot of yellow coolant in MBs.
I would have bought G-05 but it is not available here in Oman.
So I bought G-48 (A 0009890825) Blue green stuff that is also used in Bimmers.
Maybe there is not much difference at all between the two for our purposes.
