Coolant question
One would think I would know but don't. My current coolant is blue but
the new coolant I purchased is like an orange type. Is it ok to add to the
existing that is in the car? Not sure when MB changed this. Thanks guys.

Also, never mix orange and green coolant. as i'm sure you know based on your O.P., mixing the 2 will turn into a clumpy gunky mess.

The original blue and orange replacement coolants are the same formulation, save for dyes. They’re fully compatible.
