can you mix Zerex G05 and Mercedes antifreeze?

I have Zerex G05 but just acquired 1.5 gallon of Mercedes coolant from a forum member who just junked his 300D.

We seem to be having a shortage of the Zerex around here in South Jersey. Does anyone know of a place in the Cherry Hill area that actually carries it in stock? Checked AutoZone, Sears, Walmart, Pep Boys, all the usual suspects, but nothing.

My napa stocks it on the shelf.
if you have a napa near, they should be able to order it if they don't have in on shelf.

My Napa keeps it in stock as well.

I've mixed it before with no ill effects.
