Low coolant need advice on type

Hi All,
My 2017 C63 needs the coolant reservoir topped up. My initial thought was just to fill it with distilled water but I don't know the total volume of the system and don't want to significantly alter the freezing point.

I do have a gallon of VW/Audi coolant which is the same pink color but has no specs listed of what general standards it meets. While it looks the same, is it? Any advice? I don't want to have to buy another gallon for four ounces.

Thanks!
J.

I couldn’t tell you if this is generally accepted but I have gone in to the dealer and they have topped off coolant for nothing.

My previous car was a Porsche. Researching the type of coolant that it required, I came up with Audi / Porsche/ Mercedes was the same specs. I would assume that this also includes VW.

You're not going to "significantly alter the freezing point" adding a few ounces of water...
