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!

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.
