Head Gasket m/111

If you have replaced the head gasket on an m/111 once, are these engines likely to need a second or third one? In other words , do they eat head gaskets forever?

From my experience, kinda. I've seen a few M111's need 2 head gasket replacements. However I've also seen some that are at over 250k km's with the OEM gasket.

there is some controversy as to whether using Mercedes Benz antifreeze vs Zerex G05 has anything to do with the length of the time that the gasket lasts.

What was the mile marker for each gasket?
