Let's get off this antifreeze thing and talk about batteries. Especially MB batteries. Now we all know that Daimler-Benz does not make batteries. I don't even think Chrysler makes them. The MB dealer will sell you "their" battery with the Mercedes logo for around $150.You can buy a battery with higher cranking amps and longer lasting life at Advanced Auto Parts for a little over $50.A friend of mine just bought one of the Advanced Auto batteries this morning.He is a High School science teacher and when I asked him why he didn't buy a Mercedes battery from our local dealer, he laughed and said, "Do think I'm stupid.Why should I pay $150 for a battery, when I can get as good a battery for $50".I guess some people are plain out and out stupid.
By the way, Advanced Auto does not make batteries, either.
I'll stick with the store brands and try to keep my sanity.
