[MBZ] ANTIFREEZE TYPE

[Stephen D Murrell]

HI; I always used the Cheapest Antifreeze in all my vehicles, $6-$7 a
gal.; thinking about using some good stuff in my Mercedes benzes?; was it
Zerex  05??? or what is correct name of it? . OK for M.B.s? ; 79 240D, 83
300D, 85 300D.
In my 88 Ford Ranger, always used CHEAPEST antifreeze, but changed it
every year or 2; removed top  bottom radiator caps,  looks like NEW
inside, OH, it has 219,000 miles on it(problem was sending unit on top of
engine)

Use either the MB stuff Rusty sells or get the Zerez 05 or G5 whichever it 
is.


You'll be glad you did.

Zerex G-05, Ford and Chrysler type.

Don't use green antifreeze, and particularly don't leave it in there 
for decades, it will not protect the aluminum from corrosion, and it 
can get so bad the head gasket blows -- my sister's Volvo did just 
that, had to get a new head for it.

I think the green is probably fine, IF IF IF you change it
often enough.  But practically nobody does, and that includes
me too I suppose.

And with the store brand costing $7 at WalMart when G-05 costs $11 at
Autozone, there isn't enough savings for me to put green in anything.
