c300 2008 coolant level

My computer just said I need to check coolant. I typed coolant into search, but it did not show anything under W204. I read the manual, says MB only. What type of coolant can I buy from an autozone and or walmart etc that I can add to the car?

Anyone know?

Thanks!

I strongly recommend buying your coolant from the MB dealer. You will use so little so the cost is not a factor & you will be sure that it is not adding any chemicals that are not compatable. Make sure that you dilute it, if required ,to the correct consistency with demineralised water.
Having the incorrect Ph & corrosion inhibitors in your coolant water can cause expensive problems with your radiator , head & block.

My 220 CDI does not require a coolant change for 15 years or 250,000 km so the correct top up is most important.

Second-ed-ed on getting the MB coolant. My dealer actually topped it off for me when I had the problem for free. You might want to see if your dealer might do it for free also.
