I know this may sound like a dumb question but I'm just wondering what brand to go with? Every morning when I start my car it comes on the display to check coolant level. Any help would be great. Thanks

Since the coolant in our cars has a 15 year change interval, you need to contact your dealer to find out what they use and how they check it for PH level.

Since in my area our tap water is pure, my dealer service manager told me to just add a bit of tap water. That may not apply in your area.

Do not use Zerex GO-5 since that was compatible with the previous MB antifreeze but required a change each 3 years.

Yeah glad I asked. I think I only need a top off. My car is not over heating or anything.

I'm also getting the same message, but it seems to come up when the weather is cold. I plan on contacting the dealer and hope they can do a quick top-off on my way back from work.
