A special mixture of blood, sweat and tears.
That and 45% Zerex G-05:distilled water. I used to do MB coolant, but when it all leaked out one day I decided to go with Zerex due to local availability. |

I probably have pure H2o in there now because of the water pump leak but when I Change the water pump out next weekend I'll probably just dump in the green for now and then this winter convert it to the proper stuff

Low Tox Baby
I have been using Prestone Low Tox in my 1983 300CD 5cyl turbo. I believe this is a 617 engine.
I choose this because of the leaks I had. Mark

I use the Zerex G-05. I guess that falls under MB yellow. Either way, no green stuff. I also use distilled water instead of tap. The tap water in my area is the "hard" type.

The obvious choice other than the M-B coolant is Zerex G-05.
But, you failed to put that option in the poll, even though you should be well aware of such an option. This renders your poll useless. |
