waiting on the call back. All the MB coolant that I have ever used was not green. I just recently picked up this '81 300D and flushed and filled today. I was AMAZED at all the rust build up that came out when I flushed the radiator. I am in the process of cleaning it up over the next few days. This is what the inside of the upper radiator hose looked like. The only thing that will go back in there when I get it cleaned up will ONLY be the MB stuff.

The green stuff came out and I'm pretty sure it has been on a pretty steady diet of the stuff. Use at your own risk.
Rust per se has more to do with the iron/mineral content of the water than the antifreeze anyway.
