OK, here are the pics to prove that I actually went out and took your collective advice:
I got part # Q-1-03-0002 Antifreeze
and also a jug of brake fluid part # 989-08-07-10
Total cost $20.00 with my discount at the dealership ($8.50 for coolant, $11.50 for brake fluid). Not bad I guess... I think it will be a decent amount of labor doing the brakes... The coolant change should be easier, just two drain plugs and a flush...
Thanks again for twisting my arm into buying the MB brand, I feel warm and fuzzy now.
