I'll just comment hear, that in my experience the pink stuff kills plastic much quicker. I'd personally "downgrade" to blue not the other way around. Failures that never occur with blue seem to be regular with pink. Just a fore warning. Your car you do you.

Well, it wasn't really a choice unless I went with after market fluid or tried to source old stock from another dealership.
This car sees 4-5 track days a year. Not all that concerned with plastic fittings cracking any time soon.

anything plastic. whether it moves or not. plastic elbows, plastic ball valves, plastic fittings, plastic molded hoses, heatercore hoses under the wiper cowling, rear firewall/bulkhead hoses, aux pump failures (internals are guess what? plastic).Cant say radiators or anything impact resistant has had an issue from using it. Pink coolant came into use around 2014ish, some of the same cars running blue are not seeing issues newer lower mileage pink cars are. Nothing wrong with running the pink stuff, just saying what I see. I would not recommend mixing them, replace reservoir if switching as well. Since no M156's run pink coolant and I wouldn't put that in them I cannot say i've seen a failure or anything abnormal from running pink in them.

325.x coolants are concentrated and must be mixed (diluted) 50/50 with distilled water prior to use.
326.x coolants are already premixed (diluted) 50/50 and ready for use.
325.0 (concentrated) & 326.0 (premixed) are blue G48 coolant.
325.6 (concentrated) & 326.6 (premixed) are pink G40 coolant.

All of the answers to your questions have been asked and answered in this very thread so I'm honestly not entirely sure what you're asking.
I will sum it up quickly anyway. MB says you can mix 325.0 (BLUE) with 325.5 (PINK) in an official document posted here --> https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ml#post8862946.
That however doesn't mean you should. If you are going to switch, I would recommend flushing your cooling system first.
Done, no more repeat questions.

Looks like you're starting to frustrate others about this as well.
