Risk is minimal as long as you change it regularly. I suspect that Lemforder blue coolant is of top quality, judging from their other auto components.

Two months ago, I changed out my coolant with a brand Lemforder no. 10752 blue in colour.

It had green stuff in there which an MB dealership used approx 2 years ago and from what I've read is a no no.

Is the type I've used ok for a late W124 OM606? My worst fear is corroding the alloy.

A bigger concern is damage to plastic components like radiator tanks.
I have no idea about the suitability of the blue stuff.
