Antifreeze is the hidden hero of our car’s engines. If you don’t know how antifreeze works, it’s pretty simple. Antifreeze is added to the water in your engine’s cooling system that lowers its freezing point (and raises its boiling point too). It’s why the liquid in your radiator doesn’t freeze when everything else seems to be! You can choose a concentrated coolant that needs to be mixed with water or a ready-mixed one that can be used immediately. About our Antifreeze and Engine Coolant For the most accurate information regarding your particular Mercedes-Benz vehicle, it is always best to refer to the owner’s manual or speak with one of our Mercedes experts here at South Coast Garage. Our well-informed team can provide you with the manufacturer’s recommended coolant replacement interval, as well as any specific guidelines or requirements for your vehicle. Antifreeze is going to go right into the heart of your car's engine, so choosing the right one is very

The error message does apply to every single Mercedes-Benz vehicle with diesel or petrol engine (except Electric Vehicles in short EV), so if you have mercedes benz in your garage sooner or later, this message will pop out on the car's dashboard. Most of these will cause puddles of liquid under the car unless the leak is minor. Another possibility is an internal leak, such as a blown head gasket, where the coolant gets into those engine components it should not. The most common failure that causes this is a broken head gasket, allowing coolant to enter the combustion chamber. Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is constantly a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the chilly point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is highly difficult. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the primary ingredient in the prominent term "antifreeze". Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be combined to create the normal coolant.

How do I know if I need a coolant flush in my Mercedes-Benz?

So why is coolant important? Coolant is necessary for transferring the heat of the engine in a safe way. It prevents engine damage by limiting the range of temperatures an engine has to endure. If the engine is exposed to either freezing or boiling, then excessive damage might occur. A good coolant will include an antifreeze so that even in very cold temperatures, your engine is protected. Which cars does show Top Up Coolant See Owner's Manual warning message? Perhaps the most frequent cause of confusion is what the difference between anti-freeze or coolant is. Basically, they’re the same product (although the term “coolant” could just be applied to plain water; see below!)

As we know, not all engine coolant is identical. Different cars require different formulas with different colors to meet the manufacturer’s specifications. However, once you determine which formula you need, you can choose whichever brand you’d like. Genuine Mercedes coolant is one of the best ways to go as it is the exact stuff dealerships and the factory uses in brand new examples. We offer the latest specification stuff in its concentrated form in a gallon jug. Rowe provides a concentrated gallon of the older 325.0-spec coolant for use in the older engines if you’re looking for a non-Mercedes brand. Otherwise, you can use the official stuff found here. With that being said, the popular choices for MB 325.0 coolants are: Zerex G05 (slight yellow-ish tint), Genuine MB coolant (It use to be blue-colored Zerex G05), Zerex G48 (which is also blue, and the same thing as current Genuine MB coolant, and probably the same thing as Genuine BMW coolant). If those are not available, you also have Castrol Radicool which is 325.0. Choosing the right coolant is a minefield. If you use the wrong kind of coolant, with the wrong type of additives, then corrosion to engine components might be a problem. Unfortunately, it can take up to a year for this kind of corrosion to become obvious to the driver, and even then is generally misidentified by drivers as a radiator problem. The right coolant is therefore important for the health of your car. Start by identifying which coolant is designed for your make of car: Mercedes-Benz offers a range of coolants designed specifically to the specifications of their cars. These are ideal and offer great peace of mind for the careful driver. Make sure that the coolant also has either a type of silicate or a silicate-alternative present to prevent corrosion over the long-term. I'll give my input here. The color of the coolant doesn't really matter, what matters is the specification. You're looking for a MB 325.0 approved coolant. The reason why color shouldn't matter is because once upon a time, coolants were colored because of the chemicals contain inside. But these once upon a time coolants are far too old to be used in a modern engine (and using them will likely lead to damage). Modern coolants have their colors chosen arbitrarily, because all the ingredients in extended life coolants (the modern breed) are colorless.Every diesel and gasoline-powered engine contains a constant series of small explosions while running. The fuel igniting in the cylinders creates the power that drives the car and sends us on our way, but as you might imagine, those explosions make things hot. Those explosions can weaken and warp the metal around it if left long enough, effectively destroying the engine components. Coolant and cooling systems prevent that, so your engine can last as long as it’s taken care of.
