Many of the coolant suppliers, such as Prestone, make a MB-approved mix. I found the correct stuff at WalMart.

Top off or flush?

G-48 is the spec'd coolant, used to be G-05. Either will work if flushing. Stick with G-48 if the current coolant is original (blue/bluish-green). Zerex G-48 or G-05 concentrate from Napa and Valvoline European from WM 50/50. Or MB coolant concentrate from dealer.
