Folks,
So what antifreeze for the 2001 e320 hovercraft?
I used to use G-05 in the 123 cars …. How about the Preston that works in all
cars?

Best way to do it. A refractor measures specific gravity far better than one of
those float things.
As an added benefit, you can use the same tool to measure specific gravity
(state of charge) of batteries, too.
I’ve had one for years. Almost as handy as a “Kriket” belt tension tool.

There's a "refractor" type that I had not seen before. Example
linked. Anyone used something like this?
seems sound ecological practice to me!

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
Use either the MB stuff Rusty sells or get the Zerez 05 or G5 whichever it
is.
You'll be glad you did.

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.

G-05, in the gold bottle. It was once available at AutoZone, but I
haven't seen it there lately, at least locally. My most recent bottle
came from NAPA.
