CL55 Coolant service
I plan on renewing the coolant on my 01 cl55, I am aware of the drainage plug under the radiator to release all the fluid. What type of fluid would I need and do I have to mix fluid with water? I have a local German auto parts store I can pick the fluid up from. The coolant also seems a bit low, it doesn't fill to the top of the cap. Could I fill it up instead of flushing or would it be better to renew the fluid? Also is it as simple as an oil change or is there a special procedure to follow?
Thanks
Thanks

Coolant replacement is recommended every 15 years or 150,000 miles.
Factory MB coolant is cheap. That is what i use.
There are a couple alternatives such as Zerex G-05 but will not have the lifespan of the factory MB coolant.

Where can I purchase the correct mb fluid? And is there any mixing of water required?
