Question How to keep it cool?

My drivers manual for my 85 380sl says to buy Mercedes coolant. I don't want to! What kind does everyone else use for their aluminum block Mercedes?

You can buy Zerex G-05 from NAPA and PepBoys. Basically the same stuff as genuine Mercedes coolant, but less than half the price.

It even says "Approved for Mercedes" on the label.

2nd that re:the Zerex G-05. Used it with no problems and it looks the same as MB coolant.

It is the same as MB Coolant, unless Mercedes switched suppliers recently.
