Coolant MB SPEC for Class 2014 / 212.080 / M276.952

Hello,

Coolant MB SPEC for E Class 2014 / 212.080 / M276.952

I hear MB325.6 (not 325.0) applies to those with build date of May 2014 and thereafter.
I am very confused because I don't know the build date. Couldn't find the info on any stickers on the car! I only know delivery date (July 23, 2014)
Vin decoder doesn't provide the info.
How can I be sure about the coolant spec?
Thank you!!

Michael

Your OEM coolant is either Yellow/Gold or Blue/Turquoise color.

Both are nearly identical chemistry with no significant difference or advantage. The best coolant chemistry is silicone based but it's not compatible with these cars.

Look at what's in use now, reuse the same either Ylw or Blu. Hopefully no one used the old Green stuff on your engine.

It says - Backward compatibility only; Products from 325.0/326.0 are not allowed in vehicles produced after 04/2014

So I think 325.6 is a safer choice?

Look in your door jamb drivers side for build date, if before 4-2014, blue, if 5-2014, Pink. Looks like they changed it in the last 2-3 months of production of the '14 models

Ignore color recommendations. MB spec from the operating fluids site is definitive.
