correct antifreeze for 2003 C32 amg

looking to confirm which of these Zerex antifreeze products is the best choice for my 2003 c32 AMG that has a malfunction showing low coolant?

these were listed by MB as meeting their anticorrosion/antifreeze 325.0 spec

Zerex G-05 is the correct product and stocked at NAPA here in the mid-west. The C32 takes 2 gallons total. I used a 50/50 mix of 1 gallon of G-05 and the same of Distilled water.

Yes, that is the correct one and I think nappa has it for $10-$15

More than likely it's your windshield wiper fluid. I kept getting it to come on as well and I had changed the fluid twice, put a new sensor, and added when fluid could not be added any more.

I just added a bit of distilled water to my windshield wiper fluid to see if it would work and I have yet to get this light to come one. You could always just get the windshield wiper fluid and try filling it up.

I paid $30+ when I went to buy it at the dealer. I found it the equivalent at nappa for less than half the cost. Either you have an awesome dealership or mine just price gouges.
