What type of coolant for mercedes benz

Is there any advantage to using concentrate over pre-mixed coolants? None other than the user may want to use the pre-mixed product due to ease of handling or cost and visa versa. Can concentrate and pre-mixed coolants be mixed? So, there we go. Hopefully this information has been useful, if you have any further questions not covered here please ask and I will try to get the answer.

With thanks to Martyn Mann and Millers Oils. Cheers Guy and the Opie Oils team. Also, how many times would you need to drain and fill the cooling system with fresh water and run it for a bit to get rid of the old ethylene glycol anti-freeze sufficiently?

Hi Can you let me know the model and year? That way I can check on it. Cheers Tim. Click to expand Hi Bit of a trickier one that normal, but according to my data, it needs a MB How do you check the level of the transmission when the cap comes off there is no dipstick?

I would appreciate some advice on these items please charlie Hi Sorry, but I don't know those details, you need someone who is more familiar with that model. It's not meant to left in its place, top cap is sealed you can by new seal too. Last edited: Jan 30, Arzaam Senior Member.

If you click the Bevo link in the post above yours table 3 shows various coolant specs A w would've been filled with one of these when new i believe, exact flavour and colour would depend on who MB were buying coolant from at the time The story goes that while long lasting OAT coolants aren't as good as IAT in areas subject to cavitation like water pumps.

Not a big deal on many cars as the water pump is typically changed when the cambelt is due because if the waterpump lets go it can take the cambelt with it and ruin your day. Personally i'd flush the system through as colour of coolant is pretty meaningless i. Hi Sorry, but I do not know.

I have a c class and I am unsure whether or not just to pop to Halfords and get some or go to the dealer to buy some? Hi It depends on if the coolant used is MB approved. Thanks for help, I've now have on order some Comma anti freeze Pete.

It will be marked on the container. Click to expand Xstream g48 concentrate X 1Ltr. Got the check the level of the anti freeze warning pop on this morning. Had a look at the level in the reservoir and it's just a little down from the required level, no leaks, just a tad low. Same G48 coolant and warning here. Good price? Sorry but to meet MB Last edited: Oct 28, I agree , the Comma site can't be up to date. Products and specs get superceded. This is exactly the crack with engine oil too , MB I don't know what coolant is in mine because of this daft electronic printout servicing.

The Comma G48 is dark green and the Comma G40 is blue? Isn't the original MB coolant good for 15 years? If so why are the supposedly MB-approved products only good for 3 years or 5 years? Never heard of coolant being good for 15 years , would be nice though.

All MB cars since come from the factory with 15 year coolant - have a look at your service booklet Now you can see why I posted this question. The hand book does say months and so does the Comma xstream g48 on its product page but on looking further it say 3years.

Comma Xstream g40 say its good for 5yrs but shown as not suitable for my car. All in all, not the most easy of information to make a choice of what to use. One last point, how much coolant does this engine require for a complete change, not found that yet. Gazwould said:. What color is your existing coolant? You must log in or register to reply here. Since coolant technology has evolved so much in the last few decades, if you own an older vehicle you need a formula with a special additive to allow chemistries old and new to work together.

Each color is a unique formula that should not be mixed. The below chart will help you decipher which fluid is in your vehicle. What good is history, if you never change. And what good is change, if it doesn't make you better.
