a block heater does not go in the radiator hose, it goes in the side of
the block. Those radiator hose heaters dont work nearly as well as a
real block heater.

OK, it is time for me to install a block heater in the lower radiator

This means I must drain and replace the anti-freeze. The stuff that is
in there is green, which I understand is not the optimum. Where do I get
the weird colored stuff (red or orange?) which should be used in Der
Benz? I am guessing it is not to be found in the average Auto Zone.
