Is this the right stuff? Or do I have to go to the dealer?

Does it match the spec of Zerex, which is noted as the non MB choice in every anitifreeze thread on this forum?


If not, then no.

That is the antifreeze that you use in the toilet or water tank in an RV. Not for the engine.

That makes more sense. $3.50/gallon seemed way too cheap for anything.

I still use the green stuff in my 73.

30 seconds seemed appropriate. Done and done.

LOL. Giving my car green antifreeze must be like giving a girl a green dress.

Scarlet looked good in her green dress, even if it were made from curtains...

Frankly, I don't give a damn.

For the uninformed, RV antifreeze contains no rust inhibitors, and should only be used for plumbing applications. Using it in a car's cooling system is just looking for trouble.

But it is red, and cheap. You guys like to see red antifreeze in the cooling system because it is the color MB used, meaning it should be a better quality antifreeze. Hopefully nobody selling an MB uses this stuff to make it look well-maintained.

First you cannot go by color ..... as the color has nothing to do with the coolant formulation.

As others have indicated this product is not for engine use.

Most auto manufacturers use a proprietary formula based on the components used to produce the vehicle -- the specification is the minimum-- it does not translate that every coolant that meets the minimum specification has the same formula.

I normally stick with OE coolants when I do services -- as I don't have to think about differences when I do my partial changes

Obviously, you have missed the humor imbedded in this thread...
